Abstract

A measuring transducer comprises a housing, and a tube arrangement formed by means of at least two tubes extending within the housing. At least one tube is embodied as a measuring tube serving for conveying flowing medium and another tube is mechanically connected with the tube by means of a coupling element to form an inlet-side coupling zone and by means of a coupling element. The coupling element is arranged equally far removed from the housing end. One coupling element has, about an imaginary longitudinal axis of the tube arrangement imaginarily connecting a center of mass of the coupling element and a center of mass of the other coupling element, with an angle of intersection equal to that with the other coupling element, a bending stiffness, which deviates from a bending stiffness of the other coupling element about said imaginary longitudinal axis of the tube arrangement.
