A coriolis type flowmeter has separate sets or bundles of tubes which are interconnected with each other to vibrate laterally with respect to the direction of flow through the tubes by a vibrator mechanism and which vibrations are sensed by spaced apart sensor devices for determining the vibrational characteristics and the related mass flow rate and mass density of fluid flowing through the tube bundles. In one embodiment the flowmeter inlet and outlet manifolds are formed with split conduit portions for directing the flow of fluid to and from the respective tube bundles. In another embodiment, the inlet and outlet manifolds are arranged for parallel lateral flow of fluid to and from the manifolds and the respective sets of flow tubes are spaced apart along the manifolds and arranged in alternating sets interconnected by tie rods at the respective vibrator mechanisms and sensors.
