Abstract
A curved tube vibrating flow meter () includes a flow tube temperature sensor T() and a plurality of case temperature sensors T() affixed to one or more case locations of a case () of the curved tube vibrating flow meter (). The plurality of case temperature sensors T() generate a case temperature signal, wherein a plurality of case temperature sensor resistances at the one or more case locations form a combined case resistance related to thermal importances of the one or more case locations. Meter electronics () receives the flow tube temperature signal, receives the case temperature signal, and compensates the curved tube vibrating flow meter () for thermal stress using the flow tube temperature signal and the case temperature signal.
