Patent ID: 7562585

Claim:
A measurement transducer of vibration-type for measuring a flowable medium, conveyed in a pipeline, said measurement transducer comprising: a transducer housing, which is mechanically coupled with the pipeline via an inlet end and an outlet end; at least one first flow tube held in an oscillatable manner in said transducer housing and vibrating at least at times, and a second flow tube mechanically coupled with said at least one first flow tube and likewise vibrating at least at times, each of said first and second flow tubes executing during operation, at least at times, bending oscillations about an imaginary oscillation axis; a first distributor piece connecting the first and second flow tubes together at the inlet end, as well as a second distributor piece connecting the first and second flow tubes together at the outlet end so that each of said first and second flow tubes being embodied as a measuring tube communicating with the pipeline and serving to convey flowable medium; an electromechanical, exciter arrangement acting on at least one of the flow tubes for producing and/or maintaining mechanical oscillations of the at least one flow tube; a sensor arrangement for producing at least one oscillation measurement signal representing oscillations of at least said first flow tube; and at least three coupling elements connecting the first and the second flow tubes together at their inlet ends, as well as at least three coupling elements connecting the first and the second flow tubes together at their outlet ends.
