The measuring tube executes oscillations in bending oscillation mode. The method includes: exciting the measuring tube with an eigenfrequency of a bending oscillation mode—or f1-mode, ascertaining a suppressed excitation frequency, at which the oscillation amplitude of the measuring tube is minimum; identifying the frequency as the resonant frequency of the gas-charged liquid; ascertaining a density correction term as a function of the resonant frequency for correcting a preliminary density measured value and/or mass flow correction term as a function of the resonant frequency for correcting a preliminary mass flow rate measured value, and/or ascertaining the velocity of sound in the gas-charged liquid in the measuring tube as a function of the resonant frequency.

    摘要: A measuring system comprises: a measuring transducer; transmitter electronics; at least one measuring tube; and at least one oscillation exciter. The transmitter electronics delivers a driver signal for the at least one oscillation exciter, and for feeding electrical, excitation power into the at least one oscillation exciter. The driver signal, has a sinusoidal signal component which corresponds to an instantaneous eigenfrequency, and in which the at least one measuring tube can execute, or executes, eigenoscillations about a resting position. The eigenoscillations have an oscillation node and in the region of the wanted, oscillatory length exactly one oscillatory antinode. The driver signal has, a sinusoidal signal component with a signal frequency, which deviates from each instantaneous eigenfrequency of each natural mode of oscillation of the at least one measuring tube, in each case, by more than 1 Hz and/or by more than 1% of said eigenfrequency.

    摘要: A magneto-inductive flow measuring device for measuring the flow of a flowable medium is described. The flow measuring device includes a measuring tube, a pair of coils, which are arranged opposite one another on the measuring tube and which are designed to produce an alternating magnetic field, which can be turned on and off, and which extends essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube, as well as a pair of permanent magnets, which are arranged opposite one another on the measuring tube and which are designed to produce a permanent magnetic field, which extends essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube. Moreover, the flow measuring device includes one or more pairs of measuring electrodes arranged opposite one another on the measuring tube, of which one pair of measuring electrodes is designed, in the case of turned off alternating magnetic field, to tap a measurement voltage induced by the permanent magnetic field, and an evaluation unit, which is designed, in the case of turned off alternating magnetic field, to monitor the measurement voltage induced by the permanent magnetic field, at least in the case of a predefined change of the measurement voltage, to turn on the alternating magnetic field and, by means of the alternating magnetic field, to determine a measured value for the flow.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method for determining of fat content of milk having variable solids fractions and flowing with variable gas content in a pipeline. The method includes ascertaining a velocity of sound and an average density value for the milk based on eigenfrequencies of at least two bending oscillation wanted modes of measuring tubes of a densimeter arranged in the pipeline. The method further includes ascertaining a static pressure in the pipeline; a gas volume fraction based on the velocity of sound; the average density; the pressure; a density of the milk without gas content based on the average density and the gas volume fraction; and a permittivity of the milk based on a propagation velocity and/or an absorption of microwaves in the milk. The fat fraction is calculated based on the density of the milk without gas content and on the effective permittivity.
