ELITE™ Peak Performance Coriolis Flow and Density Meters
The Micro Motion™ ELITE family of Coriolis flow meters have unmatched functionality, line size breadth, accuracy, and turndown range. Designed for immunity to external effects, ELITE Coriolis meters deliver accurate measurements even in challenging fluid conditions or environments.
How It Works
Coriolis Flow Meter Principles
Coriolis flow meters operate on motion mechanics: as fluid flows through a vibrating tube, it accelerates toward peak amplitude and decelerates away from it, creating a twisting effect. This twist, measured during each vibration cycle, directly correlates to mass flow rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Explore these frequently asked questions to learn how Micro Motion Coriolis flow meters deliver precise, reliable measurement across a wide range of industrial applications.
A Micro Motion Coriolis flow meter is a precision instrument that directly measures mass flow, density, and temperature of liquids, gases, or slurries using the Coriolis effect. It provides highly accurate and repeatable measurements across a wide range of applications.
The meter operates by vibrating a flow tube through which the process fluid passes. The Coriolis forces induced by the fluid flow cause a measurable twist in the tube, which is directly proportional to the mass flow rate. Simultaneously, the system measures fluid density and temperature, offering comprehensive flow analysis. Learn more about the Theory of Coriolis here.
These meters are utilized across various industries, including oil and gas, chemical processing, food and beverage, life sciences, water and wastewater, and power generation. Their versatility and accuracy make them suitable for both standard and challenging process conditions.
