More Information
Summary:A Coriolis flow sensor comprising a loop-shaped Coriolis tube mounted in a housing with two ends lying next to one another, said ends being fixed in a fixation means, while the portion of the tube located between said ends lies free from the housing, which flow sensor comprises excitation means for causing the tube to oscillate about an excitation axis as well as detection means for detecting displacements of portions of the tube during operation. The tube is connected through the fixation means to a balancing member, the assembly of the balancing member and the tube being resiliently arranged with respect to the housing, while the excitation means are arranged to rotate the tube and the balancing member with counter-phase about the excitation axis.
