Measuring
system, in particular compact measuring device and / or Coriolis
mass flow meter, for flowing media, in particular in pipelines, which measuring
system comprises: - a vibration-type measuring
transducer (MW) through which a medium, in particular a gas and / or a liquid, a paste or a
powder or another flowable material, flows during operation to generate primary signals corresponding to parameters of the flowing medium, in particular a
mass flow rate, a density and / or a
viscosity, as well as converter
electronics (ME) electrically coupled to the measuring
transducer to control the measuring
transducer and to evaluate primary signals supplied by the measuring transducer, - where the transducer -- at least one measuring tube (10; 10') for guiding flowing medium, -- at least one electromechanical, in particular electrodynamic,
vibration exciter for exciting and / or maintaining vibrations of the at least one measuring tube, in particular bending vibrations of the at least one measuring tube about an imaginary vibration axis imaginarily connecting an inlet-side first measuring tube end of the measuring tube and an outlet-side second measuring tube end of the measuring tube with a
natural resonance frequency of the measuring transducer, -- a first
vibration sensor (51), in particular an electrodynamic one, for detecting vibrations, in particular on the inlet side, of at least the at least one measuring tube and for generating a first primary
signal (s) representing vibrations, in particular on the inlet side, of at least the at least one measuring tube 1 ) of the transducer, and -- a second
vibration sensor (52), in particular an electrodynamic one, for detecting vibrations, in particular on the outlet side, of at least the at least one measuring tube and for generating a second primary
signal (s) representing vibrations, in particular on the outlet side, of at least the at least one measuring tube 2 ) of the transducer; and - where the converter
electronics -- at least one driver
signal causing vibrations, in particular bending vibrations, of the at least one measuring tube (i exc ) for the
vibration exciter, and -- by means of the first primary signal and by means of the second primary signal and using a Reynolds number measurement value generated during operation by means of the driver signal and representing a Reynolds number, Re, for the medium flowing in the transducer, a
pressure difference measurement value (X Δp) is generated which represents a
pressure difference occurring between two predetermined reference points in the flowing medium, in particular those located within the measuring transducer, in particular such that a first of the two reference points is located on the inlet side and a second of the two reference points is located on the outlet side in the measuring transducer.
