ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter

ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter

ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter

(OP)
Could anyone proivde the ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter!
If such a symbol does not exist, how about the ISA symbol for flow meters in general!

Thanks,
Susan

RE: ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter

ISA has standards for drafting the sysmbols. I suggest you look at standard ISA 5.4 and 5.5.

If the symbols is not quite of what you are looking, I suggest call the manufacturer and asked them how other engineers have represented their Coriolis flowmeter.

In our office we use the venturi symbol as a flowmeter and then we indicate on the description of that particular flowmeter what it is. (magnetic, corilis, ultrasonic, etc., brand name and model number)

 

RE: ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter

We could not find anything for coriolis in ISA standards.  We actually chose to show it similar to a 'U' shaped coriolis.  We put a U in the pipeline with a box around the U.

That is, not the letter U, but the shape of a U in the line itself, then draw a box around it.

RE: ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter

Also look at ISA 5.1 for examples of P&ID symbols for multiple types of flowmeters.

RE: ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter

I am a fan of writing the flow measurement technique in text next to the element.

RE: ISA symbol for Coriolis flow meter

You can also use the symbol for a magmeter and instead of putting an "M" in the box, put a "C". Then update your P&ID lead sheet in case someone doesn't understand.
