    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: A method for operating a Coriolis measurement device comprises: recording the measured voltages from the sensors and creating an asymmetric sequence of values using the amplitudes of the measured voltages for the purpose of diagnosing the Coriolis measurement device; checking whether the asymmetric sequence of values satisfies at least one invalidity criterion; and creating a stabilized asymmetric sequence of values on the basis of the asymmetric sequence of values by replacing asymmetric measured values with substitute values. While an invalidity criterion is satisfied a last valid measured value of the asymmetric sequence of values is used as the current value of the stabilized asymmetric sequence of values, or the stabilized asymmetric sequence of values is set to a predetermined value, a first invalidity criterion being based on a scattering parameter of the asymmetric value exceeding a first limit value.
