Abstract: A method for operating a magnetic-inductive flow meter in which the presence of a parasitic magnetic field is detected energizing of electromagnets with at least one first current value and at least one second current value. The measuring apparatus determines first and second measured values from energizing of the electromagnets with the first and second measured values and a first pair of measured values is formed from the first current value and the first measured value and a second pair of measured values is formed from the second current value and the second measured value, the correspondence of the pairs of measured values and of the function of permeability is determined. If correspondence of the pairs of measured values and of the function of permeability is not found that fact is signaled, the lack of correspondence being due to the at least partial presence of a parasitic magnetic field.

Abstract: A fill-level detector operating by the radar principle gauges the fill-level of the lower of two substances layered one atop the other in a container. The detector incorporates first and second essentially straight, parallel electrical conductors having a signal generator and a transducer mounted to the upper ends of the conductors with the lower ends of the conductors protruding into the lower substance. The generator delivers a signal to the first conductor which signal is conducted into the lower substance with a portion of that signal being reflected at the interface of the two substances which signal portion is captured by the transducer. The detector is able to determine to fill level of the lower substance even when the upper substance displays a high dielectric constant.
