MFM = Mass Flow Meter
Mass flow meter
meaning
• It is a broad term, and any instrument used to measure mass flow rate can be called an MFM
• Not specifically referring to a particular principle
Difference from CMF
• CMF: specifically refers to the Coriolis mass flowmeter
• MFM: Generally refers to all mass flow meters, including:
◦ Coriolis (CMF)
![]()
◦ Thermal Mass Flow Meter (Thermal MFM)
![]()
◦ Differential pressure-based mass flow calculation
In industry:
• CMF = specifically the Coriolis force type
• MFM means only knowing it measures mass flow rate, but unsure about the specific principle
