  • Patent number: 11885659
    Abstract: A method for compensating the influence of at least one of the parameters from the group consisting of flow rate, viscosity, density and Reynolds number of a fluid to be measured on the measured flow rate and/or density of this fluid in a Coriolis mass flow meter with the aid of an equation using the parameters of the current Reynolds number of the fluid to be measured in the Coriolis mass flow meter, the maximum compensation value for Reynolds numbers approaching zero, the Reynolds number at which the curve of the compensation value has the largest slope, and the slope of the curve of the compensation value at the point Rec. Moreover, the invention relates to a Coriolis mass flow meter with a control device for carrying out the method.

  • Patent number: 10386218
    Abstract: The invention relates to a temperature measurement system for measuring a temperature of a tube, comprising a temperature sensor contained in a housing having a contact surface which is connected to an outer surface of the tube, wherein the contact surface has a concave form matching a form of the outer surface of the tube, and wherein a temperature-conductive, flexible intermediate layer is arranged between the contact surface and the outer surface of the tube. A further object is a flowmeter, particularly a Coriolis mass flowmeter, comprising the temperature measurement system.

  • Patent number: 8931354
    Abstract: The invention relates to a Coriolis mass flow meter with improved zero point stability. The Coriolis mass flow meter has a pair of U-shaped measuring tubes. According to one embodiment of the invention, the Coriolis mass flow meter comprises a special housing for vibration compensation or vibration suppression in the region of the process connectors. Additionally or alternatively, a specific mass distribution of the vibration exciter and/or vibration sensor is provided, in order to neutralize unwanted vibrations by actively causing vibration.
