  • Publication number: 20130291652
    Abstract: A measuring transducer serves for producing vibration signals corresponding to parameters of a flowing medium comprises a measuring transducer housing having housing ends and, extending within the measuring transducer housing between its housing ends, a tube arrangement formed by means of at least two tubes. Of the two tubes, at least one tube serves as a measuring tube conveying flowing medium and the other tube is mechanically connected with the tube by means of a first coupling element to form an inlet-side coupling zone and by means of a second coupling element to form an outlet-side coupling zone. At least the first coupling element has in a region extending between the tubes a slit having at least one closed end. Slit has a maximal slit width and a maximal slit length, which is greater than the maximal slit width. Placed partially within the slit is a connecting element, which contacts a slit edge enclosing said slit.

  • Publication number: 20130197818
    Abstract: A measuring arrangement of the invention includes: At least one measuring device, which generates, repeatedly during operation, measured values, especially digital, measured values, representing the at least one measured variable to be registered; as well as an electronic data processing system superordinated to the at least one measuring device, especially a data processing system which is spatially distributed and/or spatially remote from the measuring device. Measuring device and data processing system are connected together by means of at least two line-pairs, through each of which an electrical current flows, at least at times, during operation. According to the invention, the measuring device transmits the internally generated, measured values to the data processing system via both line-pairs. In this way, it is then possible to transmit a plurality of measured values simultaneously, when each of the two line-pairs is embodied as part of a two-conductor current-loop.

  • Publication number: 20130167654
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer for an ultrasonic flow measuring device, comprising a first housing part and a second housing part. The second housing part is axially guided in the first housing part and is so biased relative to the first housing part that, in a first state of the ultrasonic transducer, a first axial stop of the second housing part rests on a first axial stop of the first housing part, wherein, by applying, counter to the bias, a predetermined force on a second axial stop of the second housing part, the second housing part is axially shiftable, so that, in a second state of the ultrasonic transducer, the first axial stop of the second housing part is moved out of the first state.

  • Publication number: 20130160565
    Abstract: A method for monitoring oscillation characteristics in a Coriolis, flow measuring device and to a correspondingly formed, Coriolis, flow measuring device in the case of which an excited oscillatory system is simulated with a digital model, which has at least one fittable parameter. The simulating includes, in such case, excitating the digital model in the same manner as the oscillatory system, calculating a simulation response variable of the simulated oscillations according to the digital model, and, performed over a plurality of signal modulations, iterative conforming of the at least one, fittable parameter in such a manner that the simulation response variable interatively approaches the response variable. Furthermore, it is ascertained whether a corresponding limit value is exceeded by the at least one, interatively ascertained parameter value for the at least one, fittable parameter or by at least one variable derived from the at least one, iteratively ascertained parameter value.

  • Publication number: 20130133436
    Abstract: The measuring system comprises: a measuring transducer, for producing oscillatory signals dependent on a viscosity of the flowing medium and/or a Reynolds number of the flowing medium; transmitter electronics for driven the measuring transducer and for evaluating oscillatory signals delivered by the measuring transducer. The measuring transducer includes: an inlet-side flow divider; an outlet-side flow divider; at least two, mutually parallel, straight, measuring tubes, connected to the flow dividers; and an electromechanical exciter mechanism for exciting and maintaining mechanical oscillations of the two measuring tubes. Each of the two measuring tubes opens with an inlet-side measuring tube end into a flow opening and with an outlet-side.
