Patent ID: 8601884

Claim:
A Coriolis mass flowmeter, comprising: a first measuring tube and a second measuring tube configured to be excited to oscillations, wherein the first measuring tube and the second measuring tube run parallel to each other in a housing of the Coriolis mass flowmeter; a first oscillation node plate positioned at a first point on one end of the first measuring tube and the second measuring tubes, wherein the first oscillation node plate connects the first measuring tube and the second measuring tube to one another; and a second oscillation node plate positioned at a second point on the one end of the first measuring tube and the second measuring tube, wherein the second oscillation node plate connects the first measuring tube and the second measuring tube to one another, wherein a selected angle is created between a plane of the first oscillation node plate and a plane of the second oscillation node plate, wherein the selected angle is optimized for a predetermined driving force, and wherein at the predetermined driving force minimal lateral vibration and torsional movement of the measuring tubes between an adapter and the node plates is achieved due to the selected angle.
