Abstract

Meter electronics (20) and methods for detecting a flow anomaly in a flow material flowing through a flow meter (5) are provided. The meter electronics (20) includes an interface (201) for receiving a vibrational response of the flow material, with the vibrational response including at least a first sensor signal and a second sensor signal, and a processing system (203) in communication with the interface (201). The processing system (203) is configured to receive the vibrational response from the interface (201), generate a ninety degree phase shift from the first sensor signal and generate at least one flow characteristic using at least the first sensor signal and the ninety degree phase shift, compare the at least one flow characteristic to at least one anomaly profile, detect a shift in the vibrational response if the at least one flow characteristic falls within the anomaly profile, and indicate an anomaly condition as a result of the detecting.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to meter electronics and methods for detecting flow foreign objects in a flow material flowing through a flow meter. Background technique [0002] It is known to use a Coriolis mass flow meter to measure the mass flow rate and other information of the material flowing through the pipeline, such as US Patent No. 4491025 issued to J.E. Smith et al. on January 1, 1985 and on February 11, 1982 Disclosed in Re. 31450 issued to J.E.Smith. These flow meters have one or more flow tubes in various configurations. Each catheter configuration can be viewed as having a set of natural modes of vibration including, for example, purely bending, torsional, radial, and coupled modes. In a typical Coriolis mass flow measurement application, a conduit configuration is excited in one or more modes of vibration as material flows through the conduit, and the motion of the conduit is measured at points spaced along the conduit. [0003] The v...
