Axiomatization Decision LogRegistro de Decisões
1 Identity-Giving FunctionFunção Identitária
Function class
FlowMeasurementFunction ⊑ DesignedFunction
Realized in
FlowMeasurementProcess ⊑ PlannedProcess
Reusing the existing FlowMeasurementFunction from the already-enriched 'flow meter' class. A Coriolis mass flow meter shares the same identity-giving function as other flow meters - to measure flow characteristics of fluids.
2 Genus DeterminationDeterminação do Gênero
flow meterbfo:Object (BFO_0000030)
The parent_candidates list includes 'flow meter' which is already enriched in our ontology. This is the most specific appropriate superclass. Coriolis mass flow meter is explicitly defined as a specialized type of mass flow meter, and flow meter is the broader category that encompasses both volumetric and mass flow measurement devices.
3 Differentia SpecificaDiferença Específica
∃hasComponentPartAtAllTimes.CoriolisFlowTube ⊓ ∃utilizesPhysicalPrinciple.CoriolisPrinciple

Uses the Coriolis principle via specialized flow tubes that experience Coriolis forces to directly measure mass flow rate.

The differentia captures the constructive mechanism that distinguishes Coriolis flow meters: the presence of specialized Coriolis flow tubes and the utilization of the Coriolis physical principle. This is the minimal additional condition beyond the generic flow measurement function inherited from the genus.
