Coriolis flowmeter having a reduced flag dimension for handling large mass flows

A Coriolis flowmeter having a reduced flag dimension comprising:

• a first flow tube;
• a second flow tube;
• a substantially semicircular arc between an inlet end and an outlet end of each of said first flow tube and second flow tube;
• a driver affixed to said first and said second flow tube at a point on said substantially semicircular arc that is substantially perpendicular to bending axises of said first and said second flow tube wherein said driver oscillates said first flow tube and said second flow tube in opposition to each other;
• a first brace bar affixed said first flow tube and said second flow tube proximate said inlet end;
• a second brace bar affixed to said first flow tube and said second flow tube proximate said outlet end;
• and
• pick-off sensors affixed to said first and said second flow tubes in a position that allows said pick-off sensors to detect the greatest amount of Coriolis force at a low amplitude vibration.
