Abstract: Vibratory meters (5), and methods for their use measuring a fluid are provided. Each vibratory meter includes a multichannel flow tube (300) comprising two or more fluid channels (302), a pickoff (170), a driver (180), and meter electronics (20) configured to apply a drive signal to the driver at a drive frequency ω, and measure a deflection of the multichannel flow tube with the pickoff. In examples, at least one fluid channel has an effective diameter that is related to velocity of sound and drive velocity. In further examples, the driver may apply a drive signal to the driver having a drive frequency proportional to the velocity of sound and effective diameter.

Abstract: A magnetic flowmeter for measuring a fluid flow includes flow tube assembly receiving the flow having a coil with first and second coil wires for receiving a coil current to produce a magnetic field in the fluid. This generates an EMF in the fluid representative of the flow. An EMF sensor is arranged to sense the EMF and generate an output related to the flow rate. Current supply circuitry provides the coil current to the first and second wires of the coil in response to a command signal. A digital control circuit provides the command signal to the current supply circuitry as a function of a control algorithm. In one aspect, the control algorithm is adapted to changes in electrical parameters of the coil. A method of implementing the magnetic flowmeter is also provided.

Abstract: An EMI resistant electronics enclosure (200) is provided having a first compartment (206) and a second compartment (207), each defined by a body (205), being separated by a septum (208). A first aperture (209) in the septum (208) connects the first compartment (206) and the second compartment (207). A feed-through element (210) is provided having a first interface region (211) and a second interface region (212), wherein one or more primary conductors (217) extend between the first interface region (211) and the second interface region (212), and wherein the first interface region (211) resides in the first compartment (206), and the second interface region (212) resides in the second compartment (207). A conductive bar (232) circumscribes at least a portion of the feed-through element (210), and a conductive gasket (220) extends from the body (205) to the conductive bar (232), wherein a ground path is formed between the body (205) and the conductive bar (232) with the conductive gasket (220).

Abstract: A system (800) for determining frequency spacings to prevent intermodulation distortion signal interference is provided. The system (800) includes a sensor assembly (810) and a meter verification module (820) communicatively coupled to the sensor assembly (810). The meter verification module (820) is configured to determine a frequency of a first signal to be applied to a sensor assembly (810) of a vibratory meter and set a demodulation window about the frequency of the first signal. The meter verification module (800) is also configured to determine a frequency of the second signal to be applied to the sensor assembly such that a frequency of an intermodulation distortion signal generated by the first signal and the second signal is outside the demodulation window.
