Definitions
- the invention relates to a Coriolis mass flow / density meter for a medium flowing in a pipeline, in particular two or more phases, and a method for generating a measured value representing a mass flow.
- reaction forces in the fluid such as eg Coriolis forces corresponding to the mass flow rate, inertia forces corresponding to the density or friction forces corresponding to the viscosity, etc., and derived from these, generate the respective mass flow rate, a measurement signal representing the respective viscosity and / or the respective density of the fluid.
- vibration-type transducer used in the course of the fluid-carrying pipeline, flowed through by the fluid during operation and a measuring and operating circuit connected to it
- reaction forces in the fluid such as eg Coriolis forces corresponding to the mass flow rate, inertia forces corresponding to the density or friction forces corresponding to the viscosity, etc., and derived from these, generate the respective mass flow rate, a measurement signal representing the respective viscosity and / or the respective density of the fluid.
- Such sensors of the vibration type are, for example.

- the measuring sensors In order to detect vibrations of the pipe segment, particularly on the inlet and outlet sides, the measuring sensors furthermore each have a physical-electrical sensor arrangement that reacts to movements of the pipe segment.
- the measurement of the mass flow is based, for example, on the fact that the medium flows through the measuring tube which is inserted into the pipeline and vibrates during operation is allowed to flow, whereby the medium experiences Coriolis forces.
- the vibrations of the measuring tube are therefore detected by means of two vibration sensors of the aforementioned sensor arrangement which are spaced apart from one another along the measuring tube and converted into vibration measuring signals from whose mutual phase shift the mass flow is derived.
- a temperature of the fluid to be measured is usually also measured directly in a suitable manner, for example by means of a temperature sensor arranged on the measuring tube. It can therefore be assumed without further ado that - even if not expressly described - the density and temperature of the medium are measured using modern Coriolis mass flowmeters, especially since they are always used to compensate for measurement errors due to fluctuating fluid density are to be consulted, cf. in particular the already mentioned WO-A 02/37063, WO-A 99/39164, US-A 56 02 346 or also WO-A 00/36379.

- the vibration measurement signals derived from the vibrations of the measuring tube in particular the phase shift mentioned, despite the viscosity and Density in the individual fluid phases as well as the mass flow rate are kept practically constant and / or are taken into account accordingly, are subject to considerable fluctuations and can therefore become completely unusable for the measurement of the respective physical parameter without remedial measures.

- Another example of such inhomogeneous media is wet or saturated steam.
- the measuring tubes can also be those with a curved tube shape, so that the problem cannot be solved even by adapting the installation position. It has also been shown here that the aforementioned falsifications of the measurement signal cannot be significantly reduced even when using a vertically installed, straight measuring tube. In addition, the fluctuations of the measurement signal thus generated with flowing fluid cannot be prevented in this way either.
- the classifiers can be designed, for example, as a Kohonen map or neural network and the correction can be based either on a few parameters measured during operation, in particular the mass flow and density, and other features derived therefrom, or also using an interval of one or more oscillation periods Carry out vibration measurement signals.

- the measuring circuit 21 serves to determine a measured value corresponding to the mass flow to be measured in the manner known per se to the person skilled in the art on the basis of a phase difference detected between the two, possibly suitably conditioned, vibration measurement signals x, x de- sl2.
- Conventional, especially digital, measuring circuits can be used as the measuring circuit 21 for this purpose, which determine the mass flow on the basis of the vibration measuring signals x, x, cf. in this regard in particular the aforementioned WO-A 02/37063, WO-A 99/39164, US-A 5648 616, US-A 50 69 074.
- Suitable measuring circuits are used for measuring devices, which measure phase and / or time differences between the vibration measurement signals x, x and evaluate them accordingly.
- the measuring circuit 21 can also advantageously be realized by means of the signal processor DSP.
- a corresponding correction value X is derived from the intermediate value X by means of the evaluation electronics 2 and the mass flow measurement value X is calculated using the correction value X to m K, the intermediate value X ', especially digitally.
- the correction can be carried out in a simple manner based on the functional equation [074] [which is the coded mathematical formula] (1)
- K is an adaptation or scaling of the coefficient of the intermediate value X K 2, which is determined in advance, for example individually when calibrating the Coriolis mass flow meter 1 or also device-specific, and, for example. in the non-volatile memory EEPROM, can be stored digitally.
- the exponent n is greater than -1, for example. -0.5 or -0.25.
- the evaluation electronics are used to store the measured density value X ⁇ and a previously determined or timely measured reference density value K ⁇ , which is stored, for example, as a constant value when the Coriolis mass flow meter is put into operation or in Operation from external, to which Coriolis mass flow meter can be transmitted, a deviation 0 ⁇ of the density _ ⁇ of the medium from a predetermined reference density is determined.
- the deviation 0 K determined in this way becomes the second intermediate value X based on the functional equation
- the reference density value K @ can be entered manually, for example on site or from a remote control room, or sent from an external density meter to the measuring device electronics, for example via fieldbus.
- the reference density value K _ is determined using a density measurement value XH likewise stored in the measuring device electronics, the stored density measurement value Xi representing a density, o, o of the medium, which at homogeneous medium or when medium is assumed to be homogeneous.
- the measured density value X ⁇ stored as the reference density value Kß is used for the subsequent correction of an intermediate value X ′ previously determined in the case of an inhomogeneous medium.
- This embodiment of the invention can, for example, in a particularly advantageous manner.
- the aforementioned m functions, which serve to generate the mass flow measurement value X, symbolized by Eq. (1) to (4) can be at least partially implemented in an evaluation stage 54 of the measuring device electronics 50.
- the evaluation stage 54 can, for example, advantageously. also by means of the signal processor DSP or, for example. can also be realized by means of the above-mentioned microcomputer 55.
- the creation and implementation of corresponding algorithms which correspond to the previously described equations or which simulate the functioning of the amplitude control circuit 51 or the frequency control circuit 52, as well as their translation into program codes which can be executed in such signal processors is known per se to the person skilled in the art and therefore requires no detailed explanation.
- the evaluation electronics 2 furthermore have a table memory in which a set of digital correction values X previously determined, for example during the calibration of the Coriolis mass flow rate measuring device, is stored. These correction values X are accessed via a memory address derived by means of the second intermediate value X currently valid K, ⁇ K, ⁇ .
- the correction value X can, for example.
- a programmable read-only memory ie an EPROM or an EEPROM, can serve as the table memory.
- the use of such a table storage has among other things the advantage that the correction value X is very quickly available for K 2 after the calculation of the intermediate value X at runtime.
- the correction values X entered in the table memory can be very precisely beforehand using a few calibration measurements, for example. ⁇ , ⁇ based on Eq. (2) and using the least squares method.
