ABSTRACT:
A rigid central manifold block defines a coaxial inlet and outlet of the flowmeter and supports at least one continuous conduit loop substantially encircling the block and having its inlet and outlet ends closely spaced and rigidly connected to the block. Preferably, the loop includes a straight section perpendicular to the inlet and outlet ends. Dual drive means are preferably provided for oscillating the straight section back and forth about its perpendicular bisector and complementary position detectors employed at or near the opposite ends of the straight section, preferably at the same location as the drive units, provide readouts which are combined algebraically and synchronously demodulated to yield a Coriolis-related output indicative of mass flow. Preferably, a second loop, identical and parallel to the first, is supported by the same block. The block is channeled to serve as a manifold and interchangeable manifolds are disclosed for series and parallel flow through the two loops, respectively. The plane of the loop or loops can be oriented perpendicular or parallel (in line) to the process line.
