    Abstract: A method for ascertaining a physical parameter of a liquid, which has a gas charge using a measuring transducer having a measuring tube for conveying the medium. The measuring tube executes oscillations in bending oscillation mode. The method includes: exciting the measuring tube with an eigenfrequency of a bending oscillation mode—or f1-mode, ascertaining a suppressed excitation frequency, at which the oscillation amplitude of the measuring tube is minimum; identifying the frequency as the resonant frequency of the gas-charged liquid; ascertaining a density correction term as a function of the resonant frequency for correcting a preliminary density measured value and/or mass flow correction term as a function of the resonant frequency for correcting a preliminary mass flow rate measured value, and/or ascertaining the velocity of sound in the gas-charged liquid in the measuring tube as a function of the resonant frequency.

    Abstract: A magneto-inductive flow measuring device for measuring the flow of a flowable medium is described. The flow measuring device includes a measuring tube, a pair of coils, which are arranged opposite one another on the measuring tube and which are designed to produce an alternating magnetic field, which can be turned on and off, and which extends essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube, as well as a pair of permanent magnets, which are arranged opposite one another on the measuring tube and which are designed to produce a permanent magnetic field, which extends essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube. Moreover, the flow measuring device includes one or more pairs of measuring electrodes arranged opposite one another on the measuring tube, of which one pair of measuring electrodes is designed, in the case of turned off alternating magnetic field, to tap a measurement voltage induced by the permanent magnetic field, and an evaluation unit, which is designed, in the case of turned off alternating magnetic field, to monitor the measurement voltage induced by the permanent magnetic field, at least in the case of a predefined change of the measurement voltage, to turn on the alternating magnetic field and, by means of the alternating magnetic field, to determine a measured value for the flow.

    Abstract: A method for detecting a foreign body in a flowable medium includes determining a first time curve of a first measured value using a first measuring device for determining a physical density of the medium. The method also includes determining a second time curve of a second measured value using a second measuring device for ascertaining a relative permittivity of the medium. A temporal correlation between the first curve and the second curve is determined, and pairs of measured values of the first measured value and the second measured value are detected. The method further includes checking whether the detected pairs of measured values within a predefined tolerance interval correspond to the correlation of at least one predefined function. If this is not the case, it is established that the foreign body is present in the medium.

    Abstract: An arrangement includes a pipeline and a Coriolis volumetric flow meter for measuring a mass flow rate of a medium flowing through the pipeline. A first pressure sensor is attached at an inlet-side of the pipeline and a second pressure sensor is attached at an outlet-side of the pipeline, or wherein a differential pressure sensor is configured to detect a difference between an inlet-side and an outlet-side. The pressure sensors and/or the differential pressure sensor are configured to measure a media pressure and to determine, for each differential pressure, a volumetric flow velocity of the medium through the pipeline. A first monitoring sensor is attached at an inlet-side portion of the pipeline and a second monitoring sensor is attached at an outlet-side portion of the pipeline, wherein the monitoring sensors are configured to monitor a measurement variable different from the media pressure to identify a static media state.
