Abstract: A vibratory meter (5) including a multi-channel flow tube (130) is provided. The vibratory meter (5) includes a meter electronics (20) and a meter assembly (10) communicatively coupled to the meter electronics (20). The meter assembly (10) includes the multi-channel flow tube (130, 330, 430, 530) comprising two or more fluid channels (132, 332, 432, 532) surrounded by a tube wall (134, 334, 434, 534). The two or more fluid channels (132, 332, 432, 532) and tube wall (134, 334, 434, 534) comprise a single integral structure. A driver (180) is coupled to the multi-channel flow tube (130, 330, 430, 530). The driver (180) is configured to vibrate the multi-channel flow tube (130, 330, 430, 530). The two or more fluid channels (132, 332, 432, 532) and tube wall (134, 334, 434, 534) are configured to deform in the same direction as the single integral structure in response to a drive signal applied to the driver (180).

Abstract: A mode splitter (300) for a balance bar (150) of a Coriolis flow meter (100) is disclosed. The mode splitter (300) comprises a mass portion (302), and a first coupling portion (304a) coupled to the mass portion (302). The first coupling portion (304a) has a first stiffness in a drive direction (Y) and a second stiffness direction in an orthogonal direction (Z), and the orthogonal direction (Z) is orthogonal to both the drive direction (Y) and a longitudinal direction of the balance bar (150). The second stiffness is different than the first stiffness.

Abstract: A flowmeter (200) is provided. A first conduit (208A) having an inlet leg (212A) is fluidly coupled to a central conduit portion (212C) being fluidly coupled to an outlet leg (212′A). A second conduit (208B) having an inlet leg (212B) is fluidly coupled to a central conduit portion (212′C) fluidly coupled to an outlet leg (212′B). The flow inlet (210) is fluidly coupled to first ends of the first and second conduit (208A, 208B), and the flow outlet (210′) is fluidly coupled to second ends of the first and second conduits (208A, 208B). The inlet legs (212A, 212B) and the outlet legs (212′A, 212′B) comprise central conduit portions (212C, 212′C) disposed therebetween on the respective first and second conduits (208A and 208B). A manifold (206) is fluidly coupled to the inlet legs (212A, 212B) via a first fluid passage defined by the manifold, and the manifold (206) is fluidly coupled to the outlet legs (212′A, 212′B) via a second fluid passage defined by the manifold (206). A vibrable driver (214) is coupled to the manifold.
