    摘要: A flow measurement system includes two or more flow sensors that may operate simultaneously and a plurality of connected flow paths for flow of fluids. Each flow sensor is positioned along a different flow path of the plurality of connected flow paths and includes at least one flow tube and a support that clamps the flow tube. The flow tube of each flow sensor has a different resonant frequency so that cross-talk between the flow sensors can be reduced or eliminated. In some embodiments, the flow tube of each flow sensor has a different tube length, wall thickness, material, and/or weight. The flow measurement system can also include one or more pumps for pumping fluid into the flow sensors and a dampener arranged between a pump and a corresponding flow sensor for mitigating interference on the flow sensor from operation of the pump.

    摘要: Embodiments relate to a flow process system comprising a cradle and a locking mechanism. The cradle has a mounting structure for a Coriolis flow sensor, and the cradle has significantly more mass than the Coriolis flow sensor. Tire locking mechanism is used to lock and unlock Coriolis flow sensors in place on the mounting structure. The locking mechanism produces sufficient locking force when locked that tire Coriolis flow sensor and cradle vibrate as a unitary body. In this way, the Coriolis flow sensor has effectively more mass when used as part of the flow process system, but Coriolis flow sensors may be easily replaced by unlocking the locking mechanism, removing the current Coriolis flow sensor and replacing it with another.
