Abstract

A flow meter (20) including one or more flow tubes (103) and a driver (104A, 104B) adapted to vibrate the one or more flow tubes (103) at a drive frequency is provided. The flow meter (20) comprises a gusset (260). The gusset (260) is coupled to and extends along the flow tube (103) such that a frequency separation between the drive frequency and at least a second vibration frequency is increased.
