Abstract

A mass flowmeter for measuring the flow of fluids, operating by the Coriolis principle and designed for mounting on a fluid-carrying, preferably straight pipe, with at least one detector capable of measuring Coriolis forces and/or Coriolis-force-induced oscillations of the pipe, and with a bridge. The detector is attached to the bridge and the bridge is mountable on the pipe. The mass flowmeter is compact and can be mounted on existing pipes of a conduit system due to a design that permits radial attachment of the bridge on the pipe.
