CORIOLIS FLOWMETER WITH REDUCED DIMENSIONS

摘要

A Coriolis flowmeter sensor (10) having a reduced flag dimension. Flag dimension is the length that a flow tube loop extends outward from a pipelin e. In order to have a reduced flag dimension, the entire length of the flow tub es (103A-103B) must vibrate to make the flowmeter sensor (10) more sensitive to Coriolis effects. When the entire length of the flow tubes vibrates, a first set of brace bars (122-123) connected to the flow tube separates the frequencies of vibration in the flow tubes (103A-103B). A second set of brac e bars (120-121) connected to the flow tubes enhances the zero stability of th e flowmeter.
