摘要 |
A flow meter apparatus for measuring the mass flow rate of a fluid using the Coriolis principle. A single straight flow conduit is employed which is vibrated in a radial-mode of vibration. Coriolis forces are thereby produced along the walls of the flow conduits which deform the conduits cross-sectional shape as a function of mass flow rate. Additional embodiments are disclosed employing radial vibration of selected portions of the flow conduit walls.
