Abstract
A Coriolis flow meter is disclosed that uses the deflection of a torsion member () to balance the vibration of a single curved flow tube (). The two ends of the torsion member are attached to, and vibrate with, a center section of the single flow tube (). A balance member () is attached to a center section of the torsion member () and vibrates in the opposite phase of the single flow tube () causing the torsion member () to be deflected in torsion.
