Patent ID: 7127952

Claim:
A measurement pickup of the vibration-type for the measurement of a flowable media, comprising: at least four measuring tubes for conveying media to be measured, each tube having a first and a second in-/outlet end and vibrating at least at times, especially simultaneously, during operation; an electromechanical, especially electrodynamic, exciter mechanism for effecting vibration of said measuring tubes; and a sensor arrangement reacting at least to local vibrations of said measuring tubes for producing at least one measurement signal influenced by vibrations of at least one of said measuring tubes; wherein: of the at least four measuring tubes, a first measuring tube and a second measuring tube are, at least at times, inserted into the course of a first medium-line in a manner such that each of said first and second measuring tubes simultaneously conveys a partial volume of a medium flowing through the first medium-line, and of said at least four measuring tubes, a third measuring tube and a fourth measuring tube are, at least at times, inserted into the course of a second medium-line in a manner such that each of said third and fourth measuring tubes simultaneously conveys a partial volume of a medium flowing through the second medium-line.
