Abstract
The effect of the viscosity of the medium being measured is investigated. It is proved that the readings of a flow meter based on the use of the Coriolis force depend on the viscosity of the medium (the velocity profile) and the measurement error may reach 30%. The effect of a change in the parameters of the gas flow on the readings of such flow meters as a function of the location of the instrument (the longitudinal coordinate) is also considered and a conversion formula is derived.
