Abstract:
1. A method for operation of several adjacent magnetic-inductive flow meters, each of the adjacent flow meters comprising a measurement tube through which an electrically conductive medium flows, a magnetic field generating apparatus for permeating the medium with a magnetic field which comprises a component perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measurement tube, and a measurement apparatus for measuring the voltage which has been induced into the medium and for determining the flow rate from the induced voltage, comprising the steps to prevent variations of the mutual influences on the flow rate measurements by the magnetic fields of adjacent flow meters, of: conducting individual measurement processes using each of the adjacent flow meters individually and then performing a synchronous measurement process with all of the adjacent flow meters, wherein during the synchronous measurement process in at least one of the adjacent flow meters, a magnetic field is not produce by the magnetic field generating apparatus of said at least one flow meter.
