Abstract: The method determines a characteristic passage time of a component of a flowing medium in a vibrating measuring tube of a Coriolis mass flow meter. The flow meter has the measuring tube, an exciter for exciting a bending vibration mode of the measuring tube, and a vibration sensor for sensing the measuring tube vibrations. The component is present inhomogenously in the medium and has a component density which deviates from an average density of the medium. The method includes feeding an excitation signal to the exciter with a natural frequency a bending vibration mode, ascertaining at least one first time profile of a signal amplitude of the first vibration sensor at a natural frequency of an anti-symmetrical bending vibration mode, and ascertaining the characteristic passage time on the basis of the first time profile of the signal amplitude at the natural frequency of the anti-symmetrical bending vibration mode.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a transducer comprising a tube, a converter unit, an electromechanical exciter arrangement for stimulating and sustaining forced mechanical vibrations of the converter unit, and a sensor arrangement for detecting mechanical vibrations of the converter unit and for generating a vibration signal representing mechanical vibrations of the converter unit. The converter unit includes two connection elements connected to a displacer element and is inserted into the tube and connected thereto. The converter unit is configured as to be contacted by a fluid flowing through the tube and enabled to vibrate such that the connection elements and the displacer elements are proportionately elastically deformed. The transducer can be a constituent of a measuring system adapted to measure and/or monitor a flow parameter of the flowing fluid and further includes an electronic measuring and operating system coupled to the exciter arrangement and the sensor arrangement of the transducer.
