A Novel Fiber-Optic Mass Flow Sensor

Abstract:

In this paper a novel fiber-optic mass flow sensor based on coriolis force is presented. As sensing elements two fiber-optic curvature sensors mounted on elastic rubber tube are used. Rubber tube with sensing elements is excited by stepper motor. Produced system has the option of varying angle and speed of excitation. The bending of the fibers at the sensitive zone on curvature sensor changes the intensity of light traveling through the optical fiber. Curvature sensors are attached to the rubber tube so that they can measure phase difference produced by coriolis force. Mass flow rate is obtained by digital signal processing technique for phase difference detection.
