  • Patent number: 7073396
    Abstract: A Coriolis mass flowmeter incorporates a measuring tube for guiding a flowing medium, a first oscillator for the oscillatory stimulation of the measuring tube, as well as a first oscillation sensor and a second oscillation sensor for picking up Coriolis oscillations of the measuring tube. The first oscillator, the first oscillation sensor and the second oscillation sensor are mutually spaced apart in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tube and the first oscillator is activated by an oscillation-stimulating control device. A third oscillation sensor is provided and positioned opposite the first oscillator at the same longitudinal distance of the measuring tube. Additionally or alternatively, a second oscillator and a third oscillator may be provided, with the second oscillator positioned opposite the first oscillation sensor and the third oscillator positioned opposite the second oscillation sensor, in each case at the same longitudinal distance on the measuring tube.

  • Publication number: 20060021449
    Abstract: A Coriolis mass flowmeter features a measuring tube for guiding a flowing medium an oscillation-generating system with an oscillator for stimulating the oscillation of the measuring tube, and an oscillation-sensing system with an oscillation sensor for capturing the oscillations of the measuring tube. A first companion element is positioned opposite the oscillation-generating system at the same longitudinal distance of the measuring tube and a second companion element is positioned opposite the oscillation-sensing system at the same longitudinal distance on the measuring tube, with the mass of the first companion element corresponding to the mass of the oscillation-generating system and the mass of the second companion element corresponding to the mass of the oscillation-sensing system. The result is a Coriolis mass flowmeter with a high measuring accuracy. A method for producing the flowmeter is also disclosed.
