What are the advantages of Coriolis flow meters?

Coriolis meters directly measure mass flow (not volumetric), eliminating need for density compensation. Advantages: high accuracy (0.1-0.5%), measures density simultaneously, handles varying process conditions, bidirectional flow measurement, no straight pipe requirements, and low maintenance. Also measures fluid viscosity in some models. Limitations: high cost, pressure drop, size/weight for large flows, and sensitivity to vibration and two-phase flow. Ideal for custody transfer, batching, and high-value or variable-density fluids.
