Abstract
A Coriolis mass flow meter employing non-metallic flow conduit structure coupled and supported to distribute loads and reduce stresses on the flow conduit structure. The present invention discloses non-metallic flow conduit structures having corrosion-resistance and having suitable service temperature ranges, variation of Young's modulus and range of thermal expansion coefficient. A preferred embodiment includes support structures which distribute the loads on the flow conduit structure and pipe couplings which provide resilient solid mounting.
