Patent number: 7966895Abstract: An in line measuring device, includes a measuring transducer of the vibration-type having: at least one measuring tube vibrating, at least at times, during operation, and serving for conveying, at least at times, a two- or multiphase, flowable medium; an exciter mechanism acting on the measuring tube for producing vibrations of the at least one measuring tube; and a sensor arrangement for registering vibrations of the at least one measuring tube and for delivering at least one oscillation measurement signal representing oscillations of the measuring tube. The in line measuring device further includes measuring device electronics electrically coupled with the measuring transducer. The measuring device electronics delivers, at least at times, at least one exciter signal driving the exciter mechanism, and, at least at times, ascertains a damping value of first type, which represents a change of damping opposing the vibrations of the measuring tube within a predeterminable time interval.Type: GrantFiled: October 6, 2009Date of Patent: June 28, 2011Assignee: Endress + Hauser Flowtec AGInventors: Daniel Kuttler, Alfred Rieder, Hao Zhu, Christof Huber

Patent number: 7289917Abstract: A Coriolis flow meter, which includes: at least one measuring tube, which is excited to oscillate during measurement operation, and through which a medium flows, first and second sensors for registering a flow-dependent oscillation of the measuring tube and for producing first and second sensor signals; and two separated, signal-processing branches. According to a method of flow measurement a reference signal is superimposed on the first or second of the sensor signals, by the passing through both signal processing branches of an auxiliary signal formed by the superimposing, and by the filtering of a first, conditioned, reference signal from a first signal occurring on the output of the first signal processing branch and the filtering of a second, conditioned, reference signal from a second signal occurring on the output of the second signal processing branch, and by determining a ratio of the amplification gains of the signal processing branches on the basis of the conditioned, reference signals.Type: GrantFiled: May 31, 2006Date of Patent: October 30, 2007Assignee: Endress +Hasuer Flowtec AGInventors: Daniel Kuttler, Christian Matt

Patent number: 6408700Abstract: This circuit is suitable for flow tubes (4) the vibration frequency of which is in the order of 1 kHz. A fluid to be measured flows through the tube (4) vibrating in operation at a frequency determined by the density of the fluid. Attached to the tube (4) are electromagnetic vibration sensors (17, 18) positioned at a given distance from each other delivering sinusoidal sensor signals (x17, x18). Impedance-matching devices (31, 32) are fed by the sensor signals. Inputs of an intermediate switch (35) are connected to the outputs of impedance-matching devices. Additional impedance-matching device (33, 34) are fed by outputs of the intermediate switch. Low-pass filters (37, 38) are connected to the outputs of the additional impedance matching devices. The upper cutoff frequency of low-pass filter (37) differs by about 10% to 15% from the upper cutoff frequency of low-pass filter (38). Zero-crossing detector (39, 40) are fed by the outputs of the low-pass filters.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2000Date of Patent: June 25, 2002Assignee: Endress + Hauser Flowtec AGInventors: Christian Matt, Daniel Kuttler
