A Coriolis mass flow rate measuring apparatus including at least one helically configured loop (30) of conduit, a drive mechanism (42) for causing oscillatory movement of a portion of the loop in a direction normal to the direction of flow through the conduit portion and generally parallel to the central axis of the loop, and one or more detectors (46), (48), (56) for detecting the motion resulting from the Coroilis forces exerted on other portions of the loop as a result of the mass flow therethrough and the oscillatory translation thereof. A strain gage (208) and associated processing electronics are also used in combination with the mass flow rate information to determine the density of the flow.
