A sensor assembly () for a flowmeter is provided. A flow tube () having a first and second loop () are connected by a crossover section (). The flow tube () comprises a thermal expansion bend (). First and second anchor blocks () are each attachable to the flow tube () proximate the crossover section (). A tube support () is attachable to one of the first and second anchor blocks (). First and second manifolds () are attachable to an inlet () and outlet (). A support block () is attachable to the first and second anchor blocks (), first and second manifolds (), flow tube (), first and second anchor blocks (), and first and second manifolds (), and allow a predetermined degree of movement due to heating and cooling cycles when not attached to the support block ().

Apparatus for reducing braze joint stress in a vibrating flowmeter

A method for reducing flowmeter braze joint stress is provided. The method comprises the step of bending a flow tube () to create at least one thermal expansion bend () thereon. The method comprises the step of aligning a flow tube () with at least one anchor block (). Additionally, the flow tube () is brazed to the at least one anchor block () in another step, after which the flow tube () and the at least one anchor block () are allowed to cool and contract a predetermined degree after brazing. The method additionally comprises the step of attaching the at least one anchor block () to a support block () after the flow tube () has been attached to the at least one anchor block () and attaching a manifold () to each end of the flow tube ().

Apparatus and method for reducing braze joint stress in a vibrating flowmeter

A Coriolis flowmeter () is provided. The Coriolis flowmeter () includes a flowmeter assembly () including one or more flowtubes (), a driver () coupled to and configured to vibrate the flowmeter assembly (), two or more pickoff sensors () coupled to and configured to generate two or more vibration signals from the flowmeter assembly (), and meter electronics () coupled to the driver () and the two or more pickoff sensors (), with the meter electronics () configured to provide a drive signal to the driver () and receive the resulting two or more vibration signals from the two or more pickoff sensors (), wherein the two or more pickoff sensors () are affixed at two or more corresponding pickoff sensor locations that maximize a Coriolis vibration mode of the Coriolis flowmeter ().
