A mass flow meter for flowing media that works on the Coriolis Principle includes a line inlet, at least one Coriolis line carrying the flowing medium, at least one line outlet, at least one oscillator, influencing the Coriolis line, at least one oscillating transducer detecting Coriolis forces and/or Coriolis oscillations based on Coriolis forces and a meter housing. The Coriolis line is connected to the carrier system and the line inlet and the line outlet are connected between the carrier systems and the housing. The flow meter is largely "oscillation self-sufficient" because the carrier system has a natural frequency that is substantially greater than the Coriolis lines natural line frequency and the Coriolis natural frequency. Also, the natural frequency of the flow meter as a whole is substantially smaller than the carrier-system natural frequency.
A mass flow meter for flowing media that works on the Coriolis Principle with a meter housing, a line inlet, at least one Coriolis line carrying a flowing medium, a line outlet at least one oscillator acting on the Coriolis line, at least one oscillation transducer detecting Coriolis forces and/or Coriolis oscillations based on Coriolis forces and a carrier system, wherein the line inlet, the Coriolis line and the line outlet are connected to the carrier system, the Coriolis line is supported by the carrier system and the carrier system is supported within the housing by the line inlet and the line outlet characterized by the fact that the carrier system's natural frequency is substantially greater than the Coriolis line natural line frequency and the Coriolis natural frequency as well as the flow meter natural frequency, the flow meter natural frequency being equal to the natural frequency of the structural unit comprised of the line inlet, the carrier system and the line outlet.
