Abstract

A mass flow meter for flowing media, which operates according to the Coriolis principle, has one straight Coriolis measuring tube, several oscillation generators acting on the Coriolis measuring tube and several sensors detecting Coriolis forces and/or Coriolis oscillations based on Coriolis forces. The oscillation generators are designed and arranged so that the Coriolis measuring tube oscillates around its longitudinal axis enabling the flow of gases to be measured with high measuring accuracy.
