Abstract
A Coriolis flowmeter includes a change ratio obtainer configured to obtain a change ratio of vibration of a vibration tube when the vibration tube is vibrated with a constant driving force by causing a switch to select a fixed gain setting voltage, a calculator configured to calculate a first parameter indicating at least one of a spring constant of the vibration tube and a damping coefficient of the vibration tube on the basis of the change ratio obtained by the change ratio obtainer and the constant driving force, and a predictor configured to predict at least one of a time, an operating time, and an integrated flow rate of a fluid flowing in the vibration tube required for a state of the vibration tube to become a state requiring maintenance, using the first parameter calculated by the calculator or a second parameter obtained by performing a predetermined calculation on the first parameter.
