FUEL DISPENSER CORIOLIS FLOW METER

摘要

A Coriolis flow meter having a first end structure, a second end structure, and a flow path extending therebetween. The first and second end structures are connectable with a conduit such that fluid flowing in the conduit enters at one of the first and second end structures, travels along the flow path, and exits at the other of the first and second end structures. The flow path has a measurement tube having first and second ends and a damper assembly. The damper assembly has at least one damper element disposed between the first end structure and the measurement tube first end. The measurement tube is not fixed with respect to the first end structure. At least one transducer is coupled with the measurement tube and is operative to sense vibration of the measurement tube and output electrical signals representative thereof.

1. A Coriolis flow meter for measuring characteristics of a fluid flowing in a conduit, said flow meter comprising:
a first end structure and a second end structure; a flow path extending between said first end structure and said second end structure, said first and second end structures connectable with said conduit such that said fluid flowing in said conduit enters said flow meter at one of said first and second end structures, travels along said flow path, and exits said flow meter at the other of said first and second end structures; said flow path comprising at least one measurement tube having a first end and a second end; said flow path further comprising a damper assembly comprising at least one damper element, said at least one damper element disposed between said first end structure and said at least one measurement tube first end such that said at least one measurement tube is not fixed with respect to said first end structure; and at least one transducer coupled with said at least one measurement tube, said at least one transducer operative to sense vibration of said at least one measurement tube and output electrical signals representative thereof.
