Abstract
A flowmeter is provides that includes a sensor assembly and meter electronics. The flowmeter comprises one or more rigid flow tubes, a driver coupled to the flow tubes that is oriented to induce a drive mode vibration in the flow tubes. Two or more strain gages are coupled to the one or more rigid flow tubes and oriented to sense tension and compression of the flow tubes. One or more bridge circuits is in electrical communication with the two or more strain gages, wherein outputs of the bridge circuits are proportional to a strain detected by at least one of the strain gages.
