The invention relates to a method for detecting a deposit formation or an abrasion on a first measuring tube (A) of a flow meter (2) through which a medium flows. A first temperature time curve is detected by means of a first temperature sensor (30), which is arranged on the first measuring tube (A) in such a way that at least one measuring tube wall of the first measuring tube (A) is formed between the first temperature sensor (30) and the medium. At the same time, a second reference temperature time curve is detected by a second temperature sensor (38) that is at a distance from the first temperature sensor (30), which second temperature sensor is thermally coupled to the medium. From this, at least one variable that is characteristic for a heat exchange from the medium via the measuring tube wall to the first temperature sensor (30) is determined and a deposit formation or an abrasion on the first measuring tube (A) is detected, if the at least one measured characteristic variable or a variable derived therefrom differs by more than one threshold value from a pre-determined reference variable.

The measuring system comprises a vibration-type transducer (MW) through which a medium flows when the transducer is operated and which produces primary signals that correspond to parameters of the flowing medium, especially a mass flow rate, a density and/or a viscosity, and a transducer electronic system (ME) electrically coupled to the transducer for controlling the transducer and for evaluating the primary signals supplied by the transducer. The transducer comprises at least one measuring tube (10; 10') for carrying a flowing medium, at least one electro-mechanical vibration stimulator for stimulating and/or maintaining vibrations of the at least one measuring tube, a first vibration sensor (51) for detecting inlet-side vibrations at least of the at least one measuring tube and for producing a first primary signal (S 1 ) of the transducer representing vibrations at least of the at least one measuring tube, and a second vibration sensor (52) for detecting outlet-side vibrations at least of the at least one measuring tube and for producing a second primary signal (S 2 ) of the transducer representing vibrations at least of the at least one measuring tube. The transducer electronics supplies at least one driver signal (i exc ) for the vibration stimulator effecting vibrations of the at least one measuring tube and uses the first primary signal and the second primary signal as well as a Reynolds number measured value representing a Reynolds number, Re , for medium flowing in the transducer to produce a pressure differential measured value (X Δp ) which represents a pressure difference occurring in the flowing medium between two defined reference points.

The invention relates to a density measuring device which is used to measure a density, ρ, of a flowable medium and comprises measuring-device electronics (ME) and a measuring transducer (MW) electrically connected to the measuring-device electronics. The measuring transducer comprises a measuring tube (10), a vibration exciter (41) for exciting and maintaining vibrations, and a vibration sensor (51) for sensing vibrations of the at least one measuring tube. The measuring device electronics are designed to adjust, by means of a vibration measurement signal (s 1 ) and an exciter signal (e 1 ), a driving force that causes useful vibrations, namely vibrations having a specified useful frequency, f N , of the measuring tube, in such a way that a phase shift angle, φ Ν , by which a velocity response, V N , of the measuring tube is phase-shifted with respect to a useful force component, F N , of the driving force is less than -20° and greater than -80° during a specified phase control interval, and/or the useful frequency has a frequency value that is more than 1.00001-times but less than 1.001-times a frequency value of an instantaneous resonance frequency of the measuring tube. Furthermore, the measuring device electronics are designed both to determine at least one frequency measured value, X f , representing the useful frequency for said phase control interval on the basis of the vibration measurement signal (s 1 ) present during the phase control interval and to generate a density measured value, X ρ , representing the density, ρ, by using the frequency measured value, X f .

The invention relates to a transducer, in particular also for the use in a Coriolis mass-flow measuring device, comprising at least one measuring tube (10), which is at least temporarily vibrating during operation, for guiding flowing medium, and a sensor array (50) serving to detect vibrations of the measuring tube (10). The measuring tube extends between a first measuring tube end on the inlet side and a second measuring tube end on the outlet side, having a vibration length (L 10 ) and performing vibrations about a pivoting axis that is parallel or coincident to an virtual connecting axis which imaginarily connects the two ends of the measuring tube, for example in a bending vibration mode. The sensor array generates a first primary transducer signal representing vibrations of the measuring tube (10) by means of a first vibration sensor (51) disposed on the measuring tube (10), and generates a second primary transducer signal representing vibrations of the measuring tube (10) by means of a second vibration sensor (52) disposed on the measuring tube (10) at a distance from the first vibration sensor (51), wherein the length of an area extending between the first and second vibration sensor of the first measuring tube (10) defines a measuring length (L 50 ) of the transducer. In a transducer according to the invention, the vibration sensors of the sensor array are placed in the transducer in such a way that a sensitivity (S IST ) of the transducer, with respect to a theoretical sensitivity at a measuring length (L 10 = L 50 ) that maximally corresponds to the vibration length, as well as a signal amplitude (A IST ) of the primary signals, effectively obtained during operation and with respect to a theoretically maximal possible signal amplitude (A MAX ) at the location of a maximal vibration amplitude, meet the condition (I).
