Abstract This is an experiment about procedures of calibration of a Coriolis mass flow meter. To do the experiment‚ water is pumped from a reservoir and its flow rate is set by a tap‚ the height drop is examined by eye and the time is recorded for a period during the flow. This procedure is arranged for the calibration of the Coriolis meter by comparing the calculated mass flow and the read value. Although‚ it is a reasonable aspect for the calibration which is comparing digital and analog measurement
