Apparatus and ac- companying methods for inclusion in a Coriolis me- ter (5) that substantially eli- minate temperature in- duced measurement errors which might otherwise be produced by performance differences existing be- tween the separate input channels contained in the meter. Specifically, two pairs of input channels (44, 54, 64) are used in the me- ter. In operation, the meter repetitively measures the internal phase delay of each of these pairs and then subtracts the delay associated with each pair from actual flow based measurement data subsequently obtained therefrom. While one channel pair is measuring actual flow, the other channel pair is measuring its internal phase delay, with the channels being continuously cycled between these functions. Because both channel pairs are cycled at a sufficiently rapid rate, the current value of the internal phase delay for each of the pairs accurately reflects any temperature induced changes then occurring in the performance of that pair thereby eliminating substantially all temperature induced error components from the flow measurement subsequently obtained therefrom. In addition, the meter measures flow tube temperature in a manner that re- moves temperature induced errors therefrom. Furthermore, the meter also measures and updates its mechanical zero value using only zero flow .DELTA.t measurements that have a sufficiently low noise content; this mechanical zero value is subsequently subtracted from the flow based measurement data to eliminate errors therein that would otherwise occur.
