Abstract:
A mass flowmeter for flowing media, which operates according to the Coriolis principle, with an essentially straight Coriolis line (1) guiding the flowing medium, with at least one oscillation generator (2) acting on the Coriolis line (1), with at least one sensor (3,4) detecting Coriolis oscillations based on a Coriolis force, and with a first compensation cylinder (5), the Coriolis line (1) being located within the first compensation cylinder (5) and mechanically connected with the first compensation cylinder (5), wherein the oscillation properties of the first compensation cylinder (5) essentially correspond to those of the Coriolis line (1), wherein the Coriolis line (1) and the first compensation cylinder (5) are located within a second compensation cylinder (6) mechanically connected with the Coriolis line (1), and wherein said at least one oscillation generator (2) is located between the second compensation cylinder (6) and the first compensation cylinder (5).
