MEASURING TRANSDUCER OF VIBRATION-TYPE, AS WELL AS AN IN-LINE MEASURING DEVICE HAVING SUCH A MEASURING TRANSDUCER

摘要

A measuring transducer comprises a housing, of which an inlet-side housing end is formed by a first flow divider and an outlet-side housing end is formed by a second flow divider. Each flow divider has exactly four interspaced flow openings. The transducer also includes exactly four straight measuring tubes connected to respective inlet-side and outlet-side flow openings. An electromechanical exciter mechanism is provided for producing and/or maintaining mechanical vibrations of the four measuring tubes, and a sensor arrangement reacts to the vibrations. The sensor arrangement includes an inlet-side, first oscillation sensor and an outlet-side, second oscillation sensor. Plate-shaped stiffening elements are placed between the flow dividers and the oscillation sensors for tuning resonance frequencies of bending oscillations of the first and third measuring tubes and the second and fourth measuring tubes.
