Abstract
A Coriolis mass flowmeter with at least four bent measuring tubes, at least one actuator assembly and at least one sensor assembly, wherein a first measuring tube and a second measuring tube are located in a common first plane and a third measuring tube and a fourth measuring tube are located in a common second plane, wherein the first plane and the second plane run parallel to one another, and wherein all four measuring tubes are joined together in terms of flow on the input side and on the output side with a collector. A Coriolis mass flowmeter for large amounts of flow, which is improved in respect to its measurement accuracy, is implemented in that the geometry and/or the surface characteristics of the measuring tubes are set so that the tube flow resistance of all four measuring tubes is identical.
