Abstract

A sensing device that comprises a micromachined tube on a substrate for resonant sensing of mass flow and density of a fluid flowing through the tube. The sensing device further incorporates on the same substrate at least a second micromachined tube configured for sensing another property of the fluid, such as pressure, viscosity and/or temperature.
