Sumario:Nonlinear interference components exist in the output signals of dual-tube Coriolis mass flowmeters (CMFs) which affect the sensitivity and accuracy of the devices. This nonlinearity still appears under zero flow, which is manifested when the output signal contains a frequency doubling signal. This study (1) investigated an additional-mass method to suppress the nonlinear frequency doubling phenomenon, (2) established a coupling system vibration model with additional mass, built a dynamic differential equation for the vibration of the double-beam coupling system from the Lagrange equation, (3) obtained amplitude frequency information using a fourth-order Runge–Kutta method, (4) determined the suppression effect of the additional mass on the nonlinear frequency doubling phenomenon, and (5) experimentally verified the CMF. The results showed that the base coupled the vibrations of two beams, and the symmetric additional mass suppressed the nonlinear frequency doubling phenomenon, thus suppressing low or high frequencies. Also, the effect of pipeline defects simulated under asymmetric additional mass was obtained through numerical analysis and experimental data. Flowmeters with a required measuring frequency range had the optimal suppression effect on nonlinear frequency doubling and provided theoretical guidance for the nondestructive testing of measuring tubes.
