Improved stability Coriolis mass flow meter

摘要

An optimized Coriolis mass flow meter (140) is disclosed which comprises a pair of sensor means (118), each of said pair being mounted opposite the other on the sides of a flow conduit (112) for monitoring the oscillatory motion of said conduit (112). In order to improve stability to excitations caused by external influences and to maximize sensitivity, each sensor means is mounted as close as possible to two proximate nodes of a pair of vibration modes for the conduit (112). These modes are selected from among defined modes on the basis of a modal analysis to locate the nodes for each mode.
