Abstract
A Coriolis mass flow/density sensor is provided. The sensor includes a measuring tube for conducting a fluid. The measuring tube is fixed in a support and may be coupled to a pipe via an inlet tube and an outlet tube. The sensor further includes an excitation arrangement for vibrating the measuring tube in a predetermined vibration mode, a sensor arrangement for detecting vibrations of the measuring tube, and a brake assembly coupled to the measuring tube and the support. The brake assembly is operable to suppress at least one mode of vibrations other than the predetermined vibration mode.
