Apparatus for applying a temperature flow coefficient in a vibrating flowmeter and related method

A flowmeter (5) comprising:

• a meter electronics (20) comprising a processing system (303) and a storage system (304);
• a plurality of pickoffs (105, 105′) affixed to a flowmeter (5) conduit (103) in communication with the meter electronics (20);
• a driver (104) affixed to flowmeter (5) conduit (103) in communication with the meter electronics (20);
• wherein the meter electronics (20) is configured to apply a stiffness-correlated FTC to an operating routine (314), wherein the stiffness-correlated FTC is calculated using a predetermined relationship between a tube period ratio and an FTC value for a plurality of flowmeters and measured tube periods of the flowmeter (5);
• and
• an operating routine (314) of the meter electronics (20) is configured to apply the stiffness-correlated FTC thereto.
