Abstract
A flow meter (200) includes a flow tube (210) and a balance system (211). The balance system (211) is coupled to the flow tube (210). Both the flow tube (210) and the balance system (211) have a center of mass. The balance system (211) is sized and located such that the combined center of mass (Ccm) of the flow tube (210) and the balance system (211) lies proximate an axis of rotation of the flow tube (210).
