Abstract
A method, system, and apparatus for measuring mass flow comprises two tubes for transporting a material; two exciters wherein one of the two exciters is fixedly attached on each of the two tubes configured to induce a vibration in the two tubes; at least two sensors on each of the tubes; a test media flowing through the tube, wherein a phase difference in the tubes is indicative of a mass flow of the test media; and a comparer module operably connected to the at least two sensors on each of the tubes for determining a phase difference of the vibrations in the tubes and determining a mass flow according to the phase difference.
