Abstract

L'invention concerne un capteur de mesure destiné à enregistrer au moins une grandeur physique à mesurer d'un fluide s'écoulant dans une conduite et/ou à générer des forces de Coriolis permettant d'enregistrer un débit massique d'un fluide s'écoulant dans une conduite. Le capteur de mesure comprend un boîtier de capteur (71), dont une extrémité côté entrée est formée par un diviseur de flux côté entrée (201) comportant exactement quatre orifices d'écoulement (201A, 201B, 201C, 201D) espacés les uns des autres et dont une extrémité côté sortie est formée par un diviseur de flux côté sortie (202) comportement exactement quatre orifices d'écoulement (202A, 202B, 202C, 202D) espacés les uns des autres, ainsi qu'exactement quatre tubes de mesure (181, 182, 183, 184) droits destinés à conduire le fluide en écoulement et reliés aux diviseurs de flux (201, 202) de manière à former des voies d'écoulement fluidiquement parallèles. Chacun des quatre tubes de mesure débouche, par une extrémité de tube côté entrée respective, dans un des orifices d'écoulement (201A, 201B, 201C, 201D) du diviseur de flux côté entrée (201) et, par une extrémité de tube côté sortie respective, dans un des orifices d'écoulement (202A, 202B, 202C, 202D) du diviseur de flux côté sortie (202). Le capteur de mesure comporte également un ensemble excitateur (5) électromécanique destiné à générer et/ou maintenir des vibrations mécaniques des quatre tubes de mesure (181, 182, 183, 184), ledit ensemble excitateur étant réalisé de sorte qu'il permet d'exciter les paires de tubes pour les faire vibrer en flexion, en opposition de phase, dans un plan vibratoire imaginaire (XZ1, XZ2) commun. Le capteur de mesure selon l'invention convient en particulier à la mesure de la densité et/ou du débit massique d'un fluide s'écoulant dans une conduite au moins temporairement à un débit massique supérieur à 2 200 t/h.
