The measuring principle is based on the controlled generation of Coriolis forces. These forces always occur in a system

The size of the Coriolis force depends on the moving mass Δm, its velocity v in the system, and thus the mass flow. Instead of a constant rotational velocity ω, the sensor uses oscillation.

In the sensor, two parallel measuring tubes containing flowing fluid oscillate in antiphase, acting like a tuning fork. The Coriolis forces produced at the measuring tubes cause a phase shift in the tube oscillations (see illustration)

• At zero flow, in other words when the fluid is at a standstill, the tubes oscillate in phase (1).
• Mass flow causes deceleration of the tube oscillation at the inlet (2) and acceleration at the outlet (3).

The phase difference (A-B) increases with increasing mass flow. Electrodynamic sensors register the tube oscillations at the inlet and outlet. System balance is ensured by the antiphase oscillation of the two measuring tubes. The measuring principle works independently of temperature, pressure, viscosity, conductivity and flow profile.
