Abstract: A method for the measurement of a physical parameter of a liquid by means of a sensor having at least one measuring tube for conducting the liquid, wherein the measuring tube can be excited to vibrate in at least one flexural vibration mode, comprises: determining at least one current value of a vibration parameter of the flexural vibration mode; determining a measurement value of the physical parameter according to the current value of the vibration parameter, wherein the measurement value is compensated in respect of the resonator effect according to a current value for the natural frequency of the flexural vibration mode and according to the sound velocity of the liquid conducted in the measuring tube, wherein the value for the sound velocity is provided independently of the vibrations of the measuring tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for operating a Coriolis measuring device where at least two sensors register measuring tube oscillations excited by at least one exciter. The sensors are arranged one after another along a measuring tube centerline, wherein a first sensor registers a first, inlet side, oscillation characteristic of the measuring tube oscillation, and a second sensor registers at least a second, outlet side, oscillation characteristic of the measuring tube oscillation. A local concentration fluctuation or incidence fluctuation of an additional component influences the measuring tube oscillation in a region of the local concentration fluctuation or incidence fluctuation. In a first method step shifting the local concentration fluctuation or incidence fluctuation is registered using at least two sensors. In a second method step a velocity of the second component is calculated based on the registered shifting of the local concentration fluctuation or incidence fluctuation.
