Abstract: A method for operating a Coriolis mass flowmeter having at least one vibratable measuring tube for conducting a medium includes exciting a first symmetrical bending vibration mode of the at least one measuring tube, and exciting a second symmetrical bending vibration mode of the at least one measuring tube. A first mass flow rate measurement value is determined on the basis of a first Coriolis deformation of the at least one measuring tube and a first stored mode-specific zero point error value. A second mass flow rate measurement value is determined on the basis of a second Coriolis deformation of the at least one measuring tube and a second stored mode-specific zero point error value. A zero point deviation value of the mass flow rate measurement is determined as a function of a deviation between the first mass flow rate measurement value and the second mass flow rate measurement value.

Abstract: Monitoring a mass flowmeter includes ascertaining a resonant frequency of a bending oscillation, wanted mode, and a density measured value of a medium as a function of the frequency. A bending oscillation is excited outside of resonance with an excitation signal having an amplitude and a frequency (? times the resonant frequency of the bending oscillation, wanted mode). An amplitude of a sensor signal of the bending oscillation outside of resonance is ascertained. A value of an integrity function of the measuring tube depending on a ratio of the sensor signal amplitude to the excitation signal amplitude of the bending oscillation is ascertained. The integrity function depends further on a density term of a transfer function that models contributions of a plurality of oscillation modes to the sensor signal. This function is reduced to reference conditions, and/or transformed to an integrity value, which has no cross sensitivities for media density.

Abstract: A method for operating a Coriolis measurement device comprises: recording the measured voltages from the sensors and creating an asymmetric sequence of values using the amplitudes of the measured voltages for the purpose of diagnosing the Coriolis measurement device; checking whether the asymmetric sequence of values satisfies at least one invalidity criterion; and creating a stabilized asymmetric sequence of values on the basis of the asymmetric sequence of values by replacing asymmetric measured values with substitute values. While an invalidity criterion is satisfied a last valid measured value of the asymmetric sequence of values is used as the current value of the stabilized asymmetric sequence of values, or the stabilized asymmetric sequence of values is set to a predetermined value, a first invalidity criterion being based on a scattering parameter of the asymmetric value exceeding a first limit value.
