Abstract
A mass flowmeter for flowing media, which operates according to the Coriolis principle, with one at least basically straight Coriolis line guiding the flowing medium, with at least one oscillation generator acting on the Coriolis line, with at least one sensor detecting Coriolis oscillations based on a Coriolis force and/or Coriolis forces, and with a compensation cylinder, the Coriolis line being located within the compensation cylinder and mechanically connected with the compensation cylinder. According to the invention, the mass flowmeter is designed and further developed so that the oscillation properties of the compensation cylinder essentially correspond to those of the Coriolis line, so that, during operation, the compensation cylinder and the Coriolis line oscillate opposite one another in the manner of a tuning fork.
