4.2 Measuring principle and flow meter design
4.2.1 Measuring principle
The measuring principle is based on the generation of Coriolis forces. For this purpose, a
driver system (E) excites the two measuring tubes (M1, M2) in their first resonance fre-
quency. Both pipes vibrate inversely phased, similar to a resonating tuning fork.

Mass flow
The fluid flow through the vibrating measuring tubes generates Coriolis forces (F1, -F1
and F2, -F2) that produce positive or negative values for the tubes on the inflow or out-
flow side. These forces are directly proportional to the mass flow and result in deforma-
tion (torsion) of the measuring tubes.
