  • Apparatus and method for continuously measuring mass flow
    Patent number: 4703660
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for measuring mass flow of a fluid flow in a conduit includes separating the flow into two separate conduits or tubes. The two tubes are oscillated at oscillation portions one portion being 180.degree. out of phase with the other. The oscillation portions are located on each side of midpoints of respective tubes. Velocity, distance, acceleration and phase of oscillation of the midpoints or sensing location near the midpoints of the tubes is measured which measurement corresponds to the mass flow rate of the fluid flow.
