Independent third-party inspection of Emerson Micro Motion Coriolis mass flow meters, performed on-site at the Boulder, Colorado manufacturing plant. We represent the customer's interest at every stage of Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), from hydrotest to final nameplate check.
Coriolis Inspection Services LLC provides independent, third-party inspection and FAT witnessing for Coriolis mass flow meters manufactured at the Emerson Micro Motion facility in Boulder, Colorado. We act solely on behalf of the customer, ensuring that every test, verification, and certification is performed in accordance with project specifications, applicable standards, and contractual requirements.
Our role is to provide objective oversight during Factory Acceptance Testing. By maintaining an on-site presence at the manufacturing facility, we reduce risk and prevent costly rework after shipment. Clients gain full confidence that their Coriolis meters are ready for installation and operation on arrival. Every inspection is conducted with a strong focus on technical accuracy, documentation integrity, and transparent reporting.
Because the plant is a short drive from our base, we can attend tests at short notice and return for repeat hold points without rescheduling the FAT.
Each witnessed test is documented in a dedicated report or certificate so your project file is complete before the meter leaves the factory.
Meters are tested at ≥150% of design pressure using water at ambient temperature. We verify:
Deliverable: Hydrostatic Leak Test Inspection Certificate
We oversee non-destructive alloy verification using XRF or OES analyzers to confirm ASTM compliance and prevent material substitution. Common corrosion-resistant alloys inspected:
Deliverable: PMI Inspection Report (elemental composition results)
Accuracy is verified against traceable reference (etalon) meters across the customer-specified flow range. We confirm:
Deliverable: Calibration Certificate Review & Witness Confirmation
We verify transmitter-to-sensor integration and parameter setup. Includes:
Deliverable: Configuration Test Report
Complete system verification ensuring:
Deliverable: Functional Test Report
Industrial radiography oversight to detect internal weld defects and volumetric flaws in high-pressure flow tubes.
Deliverable: Radiographic Examination Inspection Certificate
For explosive environments, we verify:
Deliverable: ATEX compliance confirmation in the final report
Final inspection against the Purchase Order, data sheets, and technical specifications. Includes tag verification, serial number confirmation, nameplate inspection, and workmanship review.
Deliverable: Visual & Dimensional Inspection Report
Coriolis mass flow meters are not ordinary instruments. In many facilities they determine custody transfer quantities, production volumes, blending accuracy, and regulatory reporting values. In practical terms, they directly influence revenue.
Coriolis meters measure mass flow, density, and temperature directly. Even a small calibration deviation, material non-conformance, or overlooked configuration error can have long-term financial consequences. Independent third-party inspection reduces that risk before the meter ships.
Coriolis mass flow meters measure mass flow, density, and temperature by detecting Coriolis forces generated in vibrating tubes as fluid flows through them. Key advantages include:
On site at short notice, including same-week requests.
Reporting focused solely on your project requirements.
Experience with CMFS007 through CMFHC3M models and wet gas Coriolis meters.
Inspection reports are typically delivered within 24 hours.

An independent inspector protects your financial interests by verifying tests, materials, and compliance before shipment. Coriolis meters often set custody transfer and production quantities, so an unnoticed calibration deviation or material non-conformance can have long-term financial consequences.
No. We operate independently and represent the customer's interests only.
Most reports are delivered within 24 hours after inspection completion.
Yes. Nationwide inspection services are available upon request.
Yes. We verify ATEX / IECEx nameplate markings and EC-Type Examination Certificate validity for meters destined for explosive environments.
