Split balance weights for eliminating density effect on flow

A method for force balancing a Coriolis flow meter, the method comprising:

• providing at least one flow conduit (103), with the at least one flow conduit (103) including a first conduit node (603a) and a second conduit node (603b) and further including a bending axis W that intersects the flow conduit (103) at the first conduit node (603a) and at the second conduit node (603b), wherein the at least one flow conduit (103) vibrates around the bending axis W;
• providing a drive system (104) coupled to the at least one flow conduit (103);
• and
• providing a balance system (600) coupled to the at least one flow conduit (103), with the balance system (600) comprising two or more Y-balance weights (601a, 601b) and two or more attachment members (602a, 602b) that couple the two or more Y-balance weights (601a, 601b) to the at least one flow conduit (103), wherein at least a first Y-balance weight (601a) is coupled to the at least one flow conduit (103) at a first location between the first conduit node (603a) and the drive system (104) and at least a second Y-balance weight (601b) is coupled to the at least one flow conduit (103) at a second location between the drive system (104) and the second conduit node (603b).
