Patent ID: 8671776

Claim:
A measuring system for flowing media, said measuring system comprises: a measuring transducer of the vibration-type, through which, during operation, a medium flows, and which measuring transducer produces primary signals corresponding with parameters of the flowing medium; and a transmitter electronics electrically coupled with the measuring transducer for activating the measuring transducer and for evaluating primary signals delivered by the measuring transducer; said measuring transducer includes: at least one measuring tube for conveying flowing medium; at least one electro-mechanical, oscillation exciter for exciting and/or maintaining vibrations of the at least one measuring tube; and a first oscillation sensor for registering vibrations at least of the at least one measuring tube and for producing a first primary signal of the measuring transducer representing vibrations at least of the at least one measuring tube wherein said transmitter electronics delivers at least one driver signal for the oscillation exciter effecting vibrations of the at least one measuring tube; and generates, with application of a first pressure measured value (X p1 ) and using at least one of said first primary and said driver signals, a second pressure measured value (X p2 ); and said first pressure measured value (X p1 ) representing a first pressure, p Ref , reigning in the flowing medium at a predetermined first reference point in the flowing medium, and said second pressure measured value (X p2 ) representing a static second pressure, p crit , in the flowing medium at a predetermined second reference point, said second reference point being different from said first reference point.
