Abstract: A method for determining density and/or mass flow of a compressible medium with a measuring transducer of vibration-type having at least two oscillators, each including a pair of measuring tubes, wherein the pairs of measuring tubes are arranged for parallel flow, wherein the two oscillators have mutually independent oscillator oscillations with mutually differing eigenfrequencies for corresponding oscillation modes. The method includes steps of determining the values of the eigenfrequencies of at least two different oscillator oscillations, determining at least two preliminary density measured values based on the values of the eigenfrequencies, and determining a correction term for one of the preliminary density measured values and/or for a preliminary measured value of flow based on the preliminary density measured values and the values of the eigenfrequencies.

Abstract: A transducer apparatus comprises a transducer housing, a tube as well as a temperature sensor. The tube is arranged within a cavity of the transducer housing, in such a manner that an intermediate space is formed between a wall of the transducer housing facing the cavity inner surface and an outer surface of a wall of the tube facing the cavity. The tube is adapted to guide a fluid in its lumen, in such a manner that an inner surface of the wall of the tube facing the lumen is contacted by fluid guided in the lumen. The temperature sensor is formed by means of two temperature detectors arranged within the intermediate space as well as by means of a coupling body coupling the temperature detector thermally conductively with the wall of the tube as well as by means of a coupling body coupling the temperature detector thermally conductively with the temperature detector and is additionally adapted to register a particular measurement location temperature, namely a temperature at a first, respectively second, temperature measurement location formed by means of the respective temperature detector, and to transduce such into a corresponding temperature measurement signal, namely an electrical measurement signal representing the particular measurement location temperature.

Abstract: A vibronic sensing element comprises an oscillator with a measuring tube for guiding a medium; an electrodynamic exciter arrangement; sensor arrangements for detecting the bending vibrations of the measuring tube; and a measuring and operating circuit. The exciter arrangement includes a first and a second electrodynamic exciter and a first compensation mass body. The first exciter is configured to exert a force on the measuring tube, and the second electrodynamic exciter is configured to exert a second force on the measuring tube. The measuring and operating circuit is configured to apply a first exciter signal with the eigenfrequency of a symmetric vibration mode only to the first exciter and apply a second exciter signal with the eigenfrequency of an antisymmetric vibration mode only to the second exciter.

Abstract: A method for operating a Coriolis measurement device is provided. The Coriolis measurement device comprises at least one measuring tube for conducting a medium, at least one exciter for exciting measuring tube oscillations, at least one first sensor and at least one second sensor for detecting measuring tube oscillations, an electronic measuring/operating circuit for operating the exciter and for detecting and evaluating measuring signals of the sensors.
