Making Coriolis Practical for EPC Projects with Micro Motion G‑Series

by , | Jun 4, 2026 | Flow, Measurement Instrumentation | 0 comments

Coriolis flow measurement is widely recognized as one of the most accurate and reliable technologies available, yet it has historically faced resistance in large-scale engineering and construction projects. The reasons are well known: too expensive to justify broadly and too difficult to select and standardize across a project. For many EPCs, this has meant specifying Coriolis only when no alternative existed rather than adopting it as a go-to measurement solution. 

The Micro Motion™ GSeries is designed to change that equation making Coriolis more accessible, easier to integrate, and better aligned with project constraints, without compromising measurement performance. 

Saving Engineering Time Through Measurement Consolidation 

GSeries delivers direct mass flow, calculated volume flow, density, and temperature measurement in a single instrument with liquid mass flow accuracy up to ±0.1% of rate. By consolidating multiple process variables into one device across a size range from ¼” (DN6) to 3″ (DN80), engineers can significantly reduce the number of instruments, signals, and interfaces required in their designs. This simplification shortens engineering cycles, reduces I/O count and documentation effort, and lowers overall system complexity. 

Lower Installed Cost with Compact, Lightweight Design 

Space and weight constraints are among the most common challenges in modern projects, particularly on skids, modular units, and offshore platforms. GSeries addresses this head-on with a compact and lightweight form factor for example, the G100M measures just 300 mm face-to-face compared to 576 mm for the equivalent F100S, a reduction of nearly 48%, while weighing only 5.4 kg. NAMUR NE 132–compliant lay lengths ensure GSeries fits standard piping practices without custom engineering, making it equally well suited for greenfield designs and brownfield upgrades where mechanical modifications are limited or undesirable. 

Simplified Installation with TwoWire Coriolis 

One of the most significant barriers to broader Coriolis adoption has been installation complexity particularly the need for dedicated power supplies, additional cabling, and specialized hazardous-area infrastructure. GSeries, paired with the Micro Motion™ 4200 transmitter, delivers full Coriolis measurement over a standard twowire loop, with power and signal carried on the same pair of wires. This is consistent with common instrument wiring standards across EPC projects, reducing cabling, power infrastructure, hazardousarea design effort, and commissioning time directly lowering capital expenditure and simplifying project execution. 

BuiltIn Confidence with Smart Meter Verification 

Smart Meter Verification adds value beyond installation by enabling digital, ondemand verification of meter integrity without removing the device or interrupting the process. For EPCs, this supports smoother commissioning, easier handover documentation, and a reduced longterm maintenance burden for end users. It also helps extend calibration intervals and supports regulatory compliance requirements over the full asset lifecycle. 

Faster Project Delivery 

Schedule pressure is a reality on every EPC project. GSeries is manufactured with a standard 10day lead time, giving procurement and project teams the confidence to specify Coriolis without introducing schedule risk a critical advantage when instrument deliveries can otherwise stretch into weeks or months. 

A New Standard for Project Measurement 

By combining compact design, twowire simplicity, multivariable measurement, embedded diagnostics, and rapid availability, Micro Motion GSeries repositions Coriolis as a practical, standardizable choice for engineering and construction projects. Rather than being treated as an exception, Coriolis becomes a costeffective solution that saves engineering time, reduces installed cost, and delivers longterm measurement confidence.
