A manifold block (16) defines a coaxial inlet and outlet of the flowmeter and supports a continuous conduit loop (18) substantially encircling the block and having its inlet and outlet ends closely spaced. Preferably, the loop includes a straight section (26) perpendicular to the inlet and outlet ends. Dual drive units (70) are preferably provided for oscillating the straight section about its perpendicular bisector and position detectors (80) employed near the opposite ends of the straight section, preferably at the same location as the drive units, provide readouts which are combined algebraically and synchronously demodulated to yield an output indicative of mass flow. A second loop (20) identical and parallel to the first, is supported by the block. Interchangeable manifolds are disclosed for series and parallel flow through the two loops, respectively. The plane of the loop or loops can be oriented perpendicular or parallel to the process line. <MATH> |
