Patent ID: 8831896

Claim:
Meter electronics ( 20 ) for quantifying a fluid being transferred, the meter electronics ( 20 ) comprising an interface ( 201 ) configured to communicate with a flowmeter assembly of a vibratory flowmeter and receive a vibrational response and a processing system ( 203 ) coupled to the interface ( 201 ) and configured to measure a mass flow ({dot over (m)} i ) and a density (ρ i ) for a predetermined time portion (t i ) of the fluid transfer, with the processing system ( 203 ) being characterized by being configured to: determine if the fluid transfer is non-aerated during the predetermined time portion (t i ); if the predetermined time portion (t i ) is non-aerated, then add a mass-density product ({dot over (m)} i ρ i ) to an accumulated mass-density product ({dot over (m)}ρ accum ) and add the mass flow ({dot over (m)} i ) to an accumulated mass flow ({dot over (m)} accum ); and determine a non-aerated mass-weighted density (ρ mass-weighted ) for the fluid transfer by dividing the accumulated mass-density product ({dot over (m)}ρ accum ) by the accumulated mass flow ({dot over (m)} accum ).
