Abstract
The present invention relates to a measuring transducer of the vibration-type for a fluid flowing in a flexible hose. The measuring transducer includes, a hose carrier unit, which has at least sectionally a loop-shaped outer contour, around which a flexible hose can be led. Furthermore, the measuring transducer includes a clamping unit, by which a flexible hose led in use around the loop-shaped outer contour is tightenable against the loop-shaped outer contour, at least one exciter coupled to the hose carrier unit, by which the hose carrier unit is excitable to execute mechanical oscillations, which are accompanied by alternating elastic deformation of the hose carrier unit, and at least one oscillation sensor, by which mechanical oscillations of the hose carrier unit and/or a flexible hose installed in use in the measuring transducer are registerable.
