Patent ID: 7062977

Claim:
A vibratory transducer, comprising: at least one curved flow tube which communicates with a connected pipe conducting a fluid to be measured, said at least one curved flow tube including a first straight tube segment, a second straight tube segment, and at least one arcuate tube segment, said at least one arcuate tube segment adjoining said first straight tube segment and said second straight tube segment; at least one vibration exciter for driving said at least one curved flow tube to perform vibrations; an inlet-side first vibration sensor disposed at said first straight tube segment and an outlet-side second vibration sensor disposed at said second straight tube segment; and at least one stiffening element fixed on said at least one arcuate tube segment, said at least one stiffening element is adapted to stabilize a shape of said at least one arcuate tube segment and/or said at least one stiffening element is adapted to reduce a cross-sensitivity of the vibratory transducer to pressure.
