    Abstract: The measuring system comprises a vibration-type measuring sensor, a sensor housing, a magnetic-field detector, and measuring-system electronics electrically coupled both to an oscillation exciter and to oscillation-sensing devices of the measuring sensor. The measuring sensor is inside the sensor housing and the magnetic-field detector is outside the sensor housing. The magnetic-field detector is designed to convert changes in the magnetic field into a magnetic-field signal having an amplitude dependent on a magnetic flux through the magnetic-field detector and/or on an area density of said magnetic flux. The measuring-system electronics are designed to determine, on the basis of oscillation measurement signals of the measuring sensor, the mass-flow-rate measurement values representing the mass flow rate and to at least qualitatively determine, on the basis of the magnetic-field signal, whether an external magnetic field is established inside the measuring sensor.

    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.
