  • Patent number: 11067418
    Abstract: A magnetically inductive flowmeter includes an electrode arrangement for capturing a voltage dependent on a medium flow speed and induced, over a measurement section, in a galvanically contacting manner, wherein signal processing is performed in a control and evaluation device to suppress noise, during which a first voltage signal between a first electrode and a reference potential and a second voltage signal between a second electrode and the reference potential are each captured and filtered to obtain a noise signal contained therein, where the first and second voltage signals are summed with the first and second noise signals, respectively, so as to form two sum signals in which their difference corresponds to the voltage induced over the measurement section, such that noise components caused, for example, by gas bubbles in the medium or electrochemical effects can be largely eliminated from the measurement signal.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 6606572
    Abstract: In a circuit arrangement for deriving the measured variable from the signals (S1 to S2) of at least two sensors (23, 24) of a flow meter, which flow meter comprises one or several parallel fluid lines (20, 21) and means (22) for exciting oscillations of a predetermined fundamental frequency (&ohgr;) in the fluid line(s), the sensors (23, 24) detect the oscillations and the sensor signals (S1 to S2) are supplied by way of a respective A-D converter (36; 37) to a digital processing unit (P) having a computation circuit (46), in which their phase difference (&PHgr;) is determined as a measure of the flow.
