Abstract

A Coriolis-force mass flow meter is proposed, which is clamped at one side in a rigid mounting, has a tubular loop through which a test medium is flowing and which, relative to the mounting, is capable of oscillating itself about a particular axis of oscillation and can be given a rotary oscillation about a specified axis of rotation by an exciter system. In the state of the art, the axis of oscillation and the axis of rotation essentially coincide. In contrast to this, the special feature of the inventive flow meter consists therein that said axes have an angle that is significantly different from 0.degree., the axis of rotation having a directional component parallel to the plane of the tubular loop. In this way, a significant improvement in respect to signal generation is achieved. In the drawing, (1) refers to the tubular loop, (2) to the loop mounting, (3) to the support of the loop mounting, (5) to the exciter system, SA to the axis about which tubular loop (1) is capable of oscillating, and DA to the axis of the excited rotary oscillation.
