Abstract

A Coriolis mass flowmeter (1) with at least one sensor arrangement (2) and at least one housing (3), in which the sensor arrangement (2) includes at least one measuring tube (4), at least one oscillation generator (5) and at least one oscillation sensor (6), and the measuring tube (4) being excited by the oscillation generator (5) in at least one operating frequency. To optimize production costs and weight relative to the size of the measuring device is implemented by at least one reinforcement element (10) being arranged in and joined to the housing (3) in such a manner that the implemented eigenfrequencies of the housing (3) are shifted away from the operating frequency of the measuring tube (4).
