Abstract
A brace bar (140, 140′, 140a, 140a′) configured to be removably attachable to vibratory conduits (130a, 130b) of a flowmeter (5) is provided. The attachment comprises a mechanical attachment, wherein the brace bar (140, 140′, 140a, 140a′) is movable about the vibratory conduits (130a, 130b). A component (14, 14a, 16, 16′, 16a, 16a′) of the flowmeter (5) sensor assembly (10) that is removably attachable to vibratory conduits (130a, 130b) is also provided. The attachment comprises a mechanical attachment, comprising: a coil portion (164, 170) and a magnet portion (165, 171), wherein the component (14, 14a, 16, 16′, 16a, 16a′) is movable about the vibratory conduits (130a, 130b). The brace bar is repositionable, such that heat stress is minimized, while repair and tuning of the sensor assembly is simplified.
