Patent ID: 11828635

Abstract:
A method for operating a magnetic-inductive flowmeter includes several steps. In a calibration step, a plurality of noise-removed comparison flow measurement values are determined. A comparison frequency spectrum is determined from at least a part of a plurality of detected, noisy raw measurement signals, on which the calculation of the noise-removed comparison flow measurement values is based. In a measurement operation step, a current noise-removed flow measurement value is calculated from a plurality of detected, noisy raw measurement signals. A current measurement frequency spectrum is determined from at least some of the plurality of detected, noisy raw measurement signals. In a comparison step, the current measurement frequency spectrum is compared with one of the comparison frequency spectra and a deviation value is determined. Depending on the deviation value, the current noise-removed flow measurement value is signaled as unreliable and/or as reliable. A corresponding magnetic-inductive flowmeter is also disclosed.
