Abstract: A mass flow meter for flow media which works primarily on the Coriolis Principle has a pipe inlet, a straight pipe carrying the flow medium, a pipe outlet, an oscillation generator operating on the pipe and two transducers detecting preferably Coriolis forces and/or Coriolis oscillations affecting Coriolis forces. The flow meter has a relatively low natural frequency at a certain layout length or a relatively short layout length at a certain natural frequency, and in this way, the oscillation generator engages the pipe via an articulated arm so that the conduit is excited to torsional and bending vibrations.

Abstract: A mass flow meter for flowing media, which operates on the Coriolis Principle, has a conduit inlet, a conduit for carrying a flow medium, a conduit outlet, a carrier system carrying the conduit, the conduit inlet and the conduit outlet, at least one oscillator acting on the conduit and at least one measuring device detecting Coriolis oscillation based on a Coriolis force or forces. The mass flow meter is especially appropriate for technical manufacturing, measuring and operating requirements because the conduit is designed in a meandering form and has an inlet bend, at least two return bends, an outlet bend and connecting pieces in between.
