    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.

    Abstract: The Coriolis mass flowmeter comprises a measuring transducer having a vibration element, an exciter arrangement, and a sensor arrangement The flowmeter further includes an electronic transmitter circuit coupled with the exciter arrangement and the sensor arrangement. The transmitter circuit supplies power to the exciter arrangement to force mechanical oscillations having a wanted frequency. The sensor arrangement includes two electrodynamic oscillation sensors to convert oscillatory movements of the vibration element into an electrical signal having an alternating voltage having an amplitude dependent on the wanted frequency and on a magnetic flux of its oscillation sensor. The sensor arrangement includes a magnetic field detector adapted to convert changes of the magnetic field into a magnetic field signal having an amplitude dependent on a magnetic flux and/or an areal density of the magnetic flux. The transmitter circuit ascertains mass flow measured values and ascertains whether an external magnetic field is present.

    Abstract: The measuring system comprises a transducer apparatus with two tubes, each having a lumen surrounded by a wall. A fluid flows through each tube, while the tube is vibrated. An electromechanical-exciter mechanism maintains mechanical oscillations of each of the tubes, and a sensor arrangement registers mechanical oscillations of at least one of the tubes. The transducer apparatus includes two temperature sensors, each being mechanically and thermally conductively coupled with a wall of a respective one of the tubes and adapted to register a measuring point temperature and to convert such into a temperature measurement signal. A measuring- and operating electronics is adapted, with application of the temperature measurement signals, to generate a transducer temperature measured value, which represents a transducer apparatus temperature, which deviates both from each of the measuring point temperatures, such that a magnitude of the transducer temperature measured value is between the measuring point temperatures.
