Abstract:
A Coriolis flowmeter assembly having a continuous length of flow tube with dual loops, an inlet adapted to receive a flow of material from a connected pipeline and an outlet adapted to return said flow of material to said pipeline and a housing enclosing said dual loops, said flowmeter assembly comprising:a first loop oriented in a first plane in said continuous length of flow tube and having a first end that receives said flow from said inlet and a second end;a second loop oriented in a second plane in said continuous length of flow tube and having a first end that receives flow from said second end of said first loop and a second end directing said flow to said outlet;a cross-over section in said continuous length of flow tube formed by a bend in said length of flow tube between said second end of said first loop and said first end of said second loop, wherein said cross-over section directs flow from said first loop to said second loop;brace bars connected to said first and second loops; andan anchor fixably attached to said housing and to said continuous length of flow tube between said brace bars and said cross-over section.
