摘要: A Coriolis mass flow measuring device comprises a measuring device electronics as well as, connected thereto, a measuring transducer comprising at least one measuring tube, an oscillation exciter for oscillating the at least one measuring tube and, mutually spaced along the measuring tube, two oscillation sensors for generating oscillation signals representing oscillations of the measuring tube. The measuring tube is adapted to be flowed through by a medium and during that to be caused to vibrate in such a manner that the measuring tube executes wanted oscillations having a wanted frequency. The wanted oscillations are suitable to induce in the flowing medium, dependent on its mass flow rate, Coriolis forces suitable for bringing about a measurement effect of a first type, namely Coriolis oscillations of the wanted frequency superimposed on the wanted oscillations. These Coriolis oscillations are, in turn, suitable to induce in the medium centrifugal forces dependent on its mass flow rate and on its density. These centrifugal forces bring about a measurement effect of a second type, namely, superimposed on the Coriolis oscillations, centrifugal oscillations of the wanted frequency. The measuring device electronics is, among other things, adapted, based on the oscillation signals, to generate at least one mass flow, measured value, representing the mass flow rate, in such a manner that a dependence of a phase difference existing between wanted signal components of the oscillation signals is taken into consideration by the measurement effect of second type.

The method also includes determining a hydrogen content of the gas mixture on the basis of the thermal conductivity value and the temperature and pressure, determining a density measurement and associated temperature and pressure, and determining the mean molar mass or standard density on the basis of the density measurement and the temperature and pressure. The method further includes determining the mean molar mass or standard density of a hydrogen-free residual gas mixture based on the mean molar mass or standard density and the hydrogen fraction, determining the Wobbe index of the residual gas mixture based on the viscosity measurement and the temperature and pressure, and determining a calorific value based on the mean molar mass or standard density and the Wobbe index.

摘要: A measuring system includes a measuring and operation electronic unit (ME) and a transducer device electrically coupled thereto. The transducer device (MW) has at least one tube, through which fluid flows during operation and which is caused to vibrate meanwhile, a vibration exciter, two vibration sensors for generating vibration signals, and two temperature sensors for generating temperature measurement signals (θ1, θ2). The temperature sensors are coupled to a wall of the tube in a thermally conductive manner. The ME is designed to feed electrical power into the at least one vibration exciter to cause mechanical vibrations of the tube by an electrical excitation signal. The ME generates a mass flow sequence representing the instantaneous mass flow rate (m) of the fluid, so that, at least for a reference mass flow rate, the mass flow measurement values are independent of the temperature difference.
