Abstract
A flowmeter having one or more conduits (103, 103′) and a driver (104) coupled to one or more conduits (103, 103′) being configured to vibrate at least a portion of the conduit at one or more drive frequencies. One or more pickoffs (105, 105′) are coupled to the one or more conduits (103, 103′) and are configured to detect a motion of the conduit. A housing (200) has a first compartment (400) and a second compartment (402). The first compartment (400) is fluid-tight and encloses at least a portion of the one or more conduits (103, 103′), the driver (104), and the one or more pickoffs (105, 105′). A sealable fill port (418) is configured to allow the addition of a ballast material to the second compartment (402).
