Patent ID: 7451662

Claim:
A measurement transducer of the vibration-type, for a measuring device serving for measuring a medium flowing in a line, comprising: at least one interconnected system formed by means of at least a first component and by means of at least a second component, at least said first component of the interconnected system is embodied as a composite, formed partly of at least two materials, which differ from one another with respect to at least one physical and/or with respect to at least one chemical property, wherein: each of said at least two mutually differing materials of said first component forms, in each case, at least 1% of the volume of the component; and/or said first component is built up in layers of the at least two mutually differing materials, each of the two materials has a layer-thickness of at least 1mm; and/or a degree of porosity of the composite component is selected to be smaller than 10%; and/or at least one of said components is subjected, at least partially, lastingly, to elastic deformations.
