Abstract
An example fluid parameter sensor and meter is disclosed to measure at least one parameter of a fluid. In an example, the fluid parameter meter includes an outer conduit. A sensor element assembly is disposed in the outer conduit and having a plurality of sensor elements to convey the fluid inside of the sensor element assembly. At least one mounting flexure is fixedly attached to the sensor element assembly and to the outer conduit. The at least one mounting flexure is configured to enable the sensor element assembly to vibrate in a radial motion. At least one vibration driver causes the sensor element assembly to vibrate in the radial motion. At least one vibration sensor senses the radial motion of the sensor element assembly. Controlling electronics measure at least one parameter of a fluid based on said radial motion.
