  • Patent number: 4825705
    Abstract: A mass flow meter for flowing media with equipment for determining the coriolis force consists of a helicoidally bent measuring tube provided with two tube loops whose inflow and outflow ends are fastened to a massive cast block and between whose oppositely pivotable tube loops are arranged an oscillator and two sensors measuring the torsional oscillations. For a more compact stiffening and an improved clamping of the measuring tube at the cast block, the two tube loops are in each case ovally bent in one plane, extend approximately parallel to one another and are provided on one longitudinal side in each case with two tube sections lying opposite to one another in an alignment line (x.sub.1 --x.sub.1 or x.sub.2 --x.sub.2).
