Abstract
A vibratory flow meter () for determining a viscosity of a flow material is provided according to the invention. The vibratory flow meter () includes a meter assembly () configured to generate a density (p) of a flow material, generate a first mass flow rate (m) for a first flowtube (), and a second mass flow rate (m) for a second flowtube (). The vibratory flow meter () further includes a restrictive orifice () located in the first flowtube (). The restrictive orifice () ensures that a first flow rate of the flow material in the first flowtube () is less than a second flow rate of the flow material in the second flowtube ().
