  • Publication number: 20230168115
    Abstract: A method for operating a Coriolis measurement device comprises the following steps: recording the measured voltages of sensors for sensing measuring tube vibrations and creating an asymmetric sequence of values by way of the amplitudes of the measured voltages for the purpose of diagnosing the Coriolis measurement device, recording at least one stabilization variable and creating a stabilized asymmetric sequence of values based on the stabilization variable, wherein the stabilization variable is one of the following variables or a first or further temporal derivative thereof: a resonant frequency of the measuring tube containing medium or a variable derived therefrom, time or phase difference between measurement signals from the first sensor and the second sensor or a variable derived therefrom, temperature of the measuring tube wall, temperature difference between two measurement points of the measuring tube wall.

  • Publication number: 20220412785
    Abstract: The measuring system comprises a vibration-type measuring sensor, a sensor housing, a magnetic-field detector, and measuring-system electronics electrically coupled both to an oscillation exciter and to oscillation-sensing devices of the measuring sensor. The measuring sensor is inside the sensor housing and the magnetic-field detector is outside the sensor housing. The magnetic-field detector is designed to convert changes in the magnetic field into a magnetic-field signal having an amplitude dependent on a magnetic flux through the magnetic-field detector and/or on an area density of said magnetic flux. The measuring-system electronics are designed to determine, on the basis of oscillation measurement signals of the measuring sensor, the mass-flow-rate measurement values representing the mass flow rate and to at least qualitatively determine, on the basis of the magnetic-field signal, whether an external magnetic field is established inside the measuring sensor.
