Abstract
Measuring transducer of the vibration type for measuring a mass flow of a flowing medium. The measuring transducer includes two straight measuring tubes for conveying the medium, wherein the measuring tubes are arranged in parallel to one another and the measuring transducer is embodied with micromechanical construction. The measuring transducer of the vibration type of the invention permits reliable measurement of the smallest mass flows of a flowing medium in the form of, for example, a liquid or a gas.
