Abstract
A multiple flow conduit flow meter () is provided according to an embodiment of the invention. The multiple flow conduit flow meter () includes a first flow conduit () conducting a first flow stream and a pair of first pickoff sensors (') affixed to the first flow conduit (). The multiple flow conduit flow meter () further includes at least one additional flow conduit () conducting at least one additional flow stream and at least one pair of additional pickoff sensors (′) affixed to the at least one additional flow conduit (). The at least one additional flow stream is independent of the first flow stream. The multiple flow conduit flow meter () further includes a common driver () configured to vibrate both the first flow conduit () and the at least one additional flow conduit () in order to generate a first vibrational response and at least one additional vibrational response.
