  • Patent number: 5381697
    Abstract: A mass flow meter for flowing media which works on the Coriolis Principle includes a straight measuring pipe carrying the flow medium, an oscillator acting on the measuring pipe and two transducers detecting Coriolis forces and/or Coriolis oscillations based on Coriolis forces. The meter also has a carrier pipe holding the measuring pipe, the oscillator and the transducers and two temperature sensors that detect the temperature of the measuring pipe and correct the measured value depending on the temperature of the measuring pipe. The measuring pipe and the carrier pipe are connected to one another in a way that excludes relative axial movements, and the axial distance between the connecting points of the measuring pipe carrier pipe represents the oscillation length of the measuring pipe.
