Abstract
Method and apparatus for measuring mass flow rate of a fluid substance flowing in a conduit by reciprocating a section of conduit at an end thereof with the other end thereof pivotally mounted, and measuring the torque generated by the Coriolis force, and preferably reciprocating two similar sections of conduit at the inlet end of one and the outlet end of the other, both being pivotally secured at the nonreciprocated ends, to substantially balance inertial forces, the torque preferably being measured at peak angular velocity of the conduit section.
