ABSTRACT:
For conveying a fluid, the measuring transducer is equipped with a measuring tube, which is held oscillatably in a support element and vibrates during operation. The measuring tube executes, during operation, at least over part of its length, driven by an exciter arrangement, bending oscillations about an oscillation axis. These bending oscillations predominantly assume an oscillation form having at least three bending oscillation antinodes. Inlet-end and outlet-end oscillations are registered by means of a sensor arrangement. Additionally provided in the measuring transducer is a coupler arrangement connected with measuring tube and with support element and having at least one coupling element interacting mechanically, especially resiliently, with the vibrating measuring tube and the support element. By suitable choice of the effective spring constant, c60, of the coupler arrangement, this can cancel transverse forces produced, during operation, on the part of the vibrating measuring tube, for example due to fluctuating fluid density.
