  • Mass flowmeter and method for correcting the measurement signal of a mass flowmeter
    Patent number: 6889561
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for correcting the measurement signal of a mass flowmeter for flowing media of the type which works on the Coriolis principle and has at least one straight measuring tube conveying the flowing medium, at least one oscillation generator acting on the measuring tube, at least one measurement value sensor detecting Coriolis forces and/or Coriolis oscillations based on Coriolis forces and outputting a measurement signal and a supporting tube accommodating the measuring tube, the oscillation generator and the measurement value sensor, whereby the measuring tube and the supporting tube are connected to one another in a manner excluding relative axial movements and the axial spacing of the fixing points of the supporting tube on the measuring tube represents the oscillation length of the measuring tube.
    Type: Grant

  • Process for activating an oscillator and power supply circuit system for an oscillator
    Patent number: 6505518
    Abstract: A process for activating an oscillator serving to oscillate a Coriolis line of a Coriolis mass flowmeter for moving fluids, and of a power supply circuit system for an oscillator of a mass flowmeter for moving fluids operating by the Coriolis principle. The oscillator is supplied a pulse-width-modulated pulsed sinusoidal signal. The resulting heat-loss reduction in an amplifier circuit leads to a better utilization of the energy available for supplying the oscillator.
