Title: Satoru Nihei and the Coriolis Mass Flowmeter

Introduction

Satoru Nihei is an inventor associated with Tokyo, Japan, and Oval Corporation. His patent work includes an invention designed to reduce the effects of vibration on a Coriolis mass flowmeter.

Latest Patents

Nihei is credited with 1 patent, titled “Coriolis Mass Flowmeter.” The invention uses two parallel curved flow tubes, a drive unit, and a pair of vibration sensors. Inlet- and outlet-side manifolds divide and rejoin the measured fluid’s flow. The manifolds connect mechanically to the meter body at specified points, helping reduce vibration transmitted from the body and connected structures at the manifold joints, which serve as vibration fulcrums.

Career Highlights

Nihei’s listed patent reflects work on flow measurement and vibration control. The design aims to improve the measurement system by limiting the influence of external vibration on its flow tubes.

Collaborations

Nihei’s listed coworkers include Seiji Kobayashi and Yasuichi Shiraishi. The patent information provided does not specify their individual contributions.

Conclusion

Satoru Nihei’s Coriolis mass flowmeter patent focuses on reducing transmitted vibration through the arrangement of its manifolds and meter-body connections.
