IN-LINE MEASURING DEVICE

The inline measuring device includes a vibration-type measurement pickup having at least one measuring tube, which has a medium to be measured flowing through it during operation. The measuring tube is made by means of an exciter arrangement to execute lateral oscillations and torsional oscillations about an imaginary measuring tube longitudinal axis. The torsional oscillations alternate with the lateral oscillations or are, at times, superimposed thereon. Furthermore, the inline measuring device includes a sensor arrangement for producing oscillation measurement signals correspondingly representing oscillations of the measuring tube. A measuring device electronics controlling the exciter arrangement generates, by means of at least one of the oscillation measurement signals and/or by means of the exciter current, at least one measured value, which represents the at least one physical quantity to be measured, for instance a mass flow rate, a density or a viscosity of the medium.
