TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention relates to a method for ascertaining a physical parameter of a liquid by means of a sensor having at least one measuring tube for conducting the liquid, wherein the measuring tube comprises an inlet-side end section and an outlet-side end section, wherein the sensor has at least one inlet-side fastening device and an outlet-side fastening device with which the measuring tube is respectively fastened in one of the end sections, wherein the measuring tube can be excited to vibrate between the two fastening devices, wherein the mass flow rate and density of the liquid can be determined from the vibration behavior of the measuring tube. However, the measurement values for mass flow rate and density have cross-sensitivities with respect to the sound velocity or compressibility of the liquid.

BACKGROUND

The first publication of patent application DE 10 2015 122 661 A1 discloses a method for determining the density or the mass flow rate of a gas-charged liquid by means of a sensor which has a measuring tube with a plurality of flexural vibration modes of different natural frequencies. On the basis of the natural frequencies of two flexural vibration modes, preliminary density values are determined which, assuming resonance vibrations of the gas-charged liquid relative to the measuring tube, enable the determination of the sound velocity and, following this, the determination of a corrected density and mass flow value.

The above approach on the basis of what is known as multi-frequency technology provides satisfactory results where measurements of gas-charged liquids are concerned that have a considerably reduced sound velocity compared to the pure liquid phase. When sound velocities are too high, multi-frequency technology is not feasible.

As requirements for measurement accuracy increase, the resonator effect becomes more important even in the case of media with high sound velocities; it is therefore to be taken into account in measurement value determination for pure liquids as well. It is the object of the present invention to provide a method and a measuring device that correct the effect of the resonator effect also for such media.

SUMMARY

The method according to the invention is a method for determining a measurement value of a physical parameter of a liquid by means of a sensor having at least one measuring tube for conducting the liquid, wherein the measuring tube in each case has an inlet-side end section and an outlet-side end section, wherein the sensor has at least one inlet-side fastening device and an outlet-side fastening device, with which the measuring tube is respectively fastened in one of the end sections, wherein the measuring tube can be excited to vibrate between the two fastening devices in at least one flexural vibration mode, wherein the method comprises the following steps: determining at least one current value of a vibration parameter of the flexural vibration mode; determining a measurement value of the physical parameter as a function of the current value of the vibration parameter, wherein the measurement value is compensated in respect of the resonator effect as a function of a current value for the natural frequency of the flexural vibration mode and of the sound velocity of the liquid conducted in the measuring tube, wherein the value for the sound velocity is provided independently of vibrations of the measuring tube.

In a development of the invention, the vibration parameter comprises the natural frequency of the flexural vibration mode, wherein the physical parameter comprises a density of the liquid conducted in the measuring tube.

In a development of the invention, the vibration parameter comprises a time delay proportional to the mass flow rate between the signals of two vibration sensors arranged offset from one another in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tube, wherein the physical parameter comprises a mass flow rate of the liquid conducted in the measuring tube.

In a development of the invention, a current measurement value for the sound velocity of the liquid is provided by an external sensor, in particular by an ultrasonic sensor.

In a development of the invention, an externally determined value for the sound velocity of the liquid is stored in a data memory and is read out from the data memory in order to calculate the physical parameter.

In a further development of the invention, a measurement value of the physical parameter is determined as a function of the current value of the vibration parameter on the assumption that device parameters that are included in the calculation of the physical parameter are valid, wherein the device parameters were ascertained in particular taking the resonator effect into account.

In a development of the invention, a measurement value of the physical parameter is determined as a function of the current value of the vibration parameter on the assumption that device parameters that are included in the calculation of the physical parameter were determined while disregarding the resonator effect, wherein a correction for the effect of the resonator effect on determining the device parameters takes place.

The relationship of a preliminary density value ρ_i of a fluid on the basis of the natural frequency f_i of an f_i-mode is described as:

${\rho }_i=c_{0i}+c_{1i}\frac{1}{f_i^2}+c_{2i}\frac{1}{f_i^4},$ wherein c_0i, c_1i, and c_2i are device parameters, here in the form of mode-dependent coefficients.

However, the above approach does not take into account the influences of the resonator effect, i.e., the influence of the vibrating liquid in the measuring tube. The closer the resonance frequency of the vibrating liquid is to the natural frequency of a flexural vibration mode, the stronger will be the influence of the natural frequency. The resonance frequency of the liquid depends on its sound velocity. In a development of the invention, a mode-specific correction term K_i for a preliminary density value is therefore a function of a quotient of the sound velocity of the liquid and the natural frequency of the mode with which the preliminary density measuring value was ascertained.

In a development of the invention, the correction term K_i for the preliminary density values ρ_i has the following form on the basis of the natural frequency of the f_i-mode:

$K_i:=\left(1+\frac{r}{{\left(\frac{g·c}{f_i}\right)}^2-b}\right),\mathrm{where}{\rho }_{\mathrm{corr}}·=\frac{{\rho }_i}{K_i}$ where r and g are media-independent constants, f_i is the natural frequency of the f_i-mode, ρ_corr is the corrected density, and b is a scaling constant, wherein in particular: r/b<1, in particular r/b<0.9, and/or b=1. In the above equation, g is in particular a proportionality factor, which is a function of the diameter of the measuring tube, between a resonance frequency f_res of the liquid and the sound velocity of the liquid, wherein the following applies:f_res=g·c

For example, for a twin-tube measuring device with DN 50 or DN 100, g has a value of approximately 21 or 8.5.

The sound velocity c of the liquid can, for example, be stored as a predetermined value, optionally with temperature correction, in a data memory and read out therefrom, or it can be provided by an external sensor, for example an ultrasonic sensor.

In a development of the invention, the following applies to a density error E_ρi of a preliminary density value on the basis of the natural frequency of the f_i-mode:E_ρi:=K_i−1,wherein a mass flow rate error E_m of a preliminary mass flow value is proportional to the density error E_p1 of the preliminary density value based on the flexural vibration mode f1, that is to say:E_m:=k·E_ρ1,wherein the proportionality factor k is not less than 1.5 and not more than 3. In a currently preferred embodiment of the invention, the proportionality factor is k=2.

The following applies to a correction term K_m for the mass flow rate:

$K_m:=1+E_m,\mathrm{hence}{K}_m:=\left(1+\frac{2·r}{{\left(\frac{g·c}{f_1}\right)}^2-b}\right)$ wherein the corrected mass flow rate {dot over (m)}_corr is obtained as

${\stackrel{.}{m}}_{\mathrm{corr}}·=\frac{{\stackrel{.}{m}}_v}{K_m},$ wherein {dot over (m)}_v of the preliminary mass flow value is determined in a known manner by multiplying a time delay Δt between the signals of two vibration sensors by a calibration factor calf.

Determination of the correction term for the mass flow rate as described here also follows the procedure in multi-frequency technology whereby the mass flow correction term is expediently estimated via the density correction term since the latter has to be determined anyway in order to ascertain the value for the sound velocity of the liquid. However, if the value for the sound velocity is provided externally, the mass flow correction term K_m may also be estimated independently of the density correction term as:

$K_m:=1+a_1·{\left(\frac{4\pi ·f_c}{c}·r_t\right)}^2.$ In this case, at is a constant, f_c is the vibration frequency at which the measurement was performed, r_t is the radius of the measuring tube or of the measuring tubes, and c is the sound velocity of the medium under consideration.

The above explanations regarding the correction terms K_i and K_m are only valid on the assumption that the resonator effect of the reference medium was taken into account when ascertaining the device parameters c_ji If this was not the case, the device parameters c_ji or calf will have been determined too low.

Accordingly, according to a development of the invention, the effect of the resonator effect in determining the device parameters has to be corrected subsequently. This can ideally be done using the data of the media used in determining the device parameters. The corresponding initial density correction term K_0,i for the f_i-mode is to be defined as:

$K_{0,i}:=\left(1+\frac{r}{{\left(\frac{g·c_0}{f_{0,i}}\right)}^2-b}\right),$ In this case, c₀ is the sound velocity of the medium used in determining the coefficients for measuring the density of the medium used and f_0,i is the observed natural frequency of the f_i-mode. In this case, the corrected density is to be calculated according to:

${\rho }_{\mathrm{corr}}={\rho }_i·\frac{K_{0,i}}{K_i}$

The same applies to the mass flow measurement for which a failure to take the resonator effect into consideration when determining the calibration factor calf is to be subsequently corrected.

Two alternatives are available for determining the initial mass flow correction term K_0,m as well as for determining the current mass flow correction term K_m. Firstly, on the basis of the initial density correction term:

$K_{0,m}:=\left(1+\frac{2·r}{{\left(\frac{g·c_0}{f_{0,i}}\right)}^2-b}\right),$ wherein c₀ is the sound velocity of the medium used in determining the coefficients for measuring the density of the medium used and f_0,i designates the observed natural frequency of the f_i-mode.

Secondly, on the basis of the conditions in ascertaining the calibration factor calf:

$K_{0,m}:=1+a_1·{\left(\frac{4\pi ·f_{0,c}}{c_0}·r_t\right)}^2.$ In this case, a₁ is a constant, f_0,c is the oscillation frequency at which the measurement was carried out to determine the calibration factor calf, r₁ is the radius of the measuring tube or of the measuring tubes, and c₀ is the sound velocity of the liquid used in determining the calibration factor.

The following then applies to the corrected mass flow rate:

${\stackrel{.}{m}}_{\mathrm{corr}}={\stackrel{.}{m}}_v·\frac{K_{0,m}}{K_m}.$ where K_m is the current mass flow correction term, K_0,m is one of the two initial mass flow correction terms and {dot over (m)}_v is the preliminary mass flow measurement value.

The apparatus according to the invention serves to ascertain a measurement value of a physical parameter of a liquid, especially by means of the method according to the invention, wherein the apparatus comprises a sensor having at least one measuring tube for conducting the liquid, wherein the measuring tube in each case has an inlet-side end section and an outlet-side end section, wherein the sensor has at least one inlet-side fastening device and one outlet-side fastening device with which the measuring tube is in each case fastened in one of the end sections, wherein the measuring tube can be excited to vibrate between the two fastening devices in at least one flexural vibration mode, at least one exciter for exciting vibrations in at least one flexural vibration mode, at least one vibration sensor for detecting vibrations in at least one flexural vibration mode, wherein the measuring device further comprises an operating and evaluation circuit configured to: drive the exciter; acquire signals of the at least one vibration sensor; determine at least one current value of a vibration parameter of the flexural vibration mode on the basis of the sensor signals; and determine a measurement value of the physical parameter as a function of the current value of the vibration parameter, wherein an operating and evaluation circuit, which is configured to compensate the measurement value in respect of the resonator effect as a function of a current value for the natural frequency of the flexural vibration mode and of the sound velocity of the liquid conducted in the measuring tube, wherein the value for the sound velocity is provided independently of vibrations of the measuring tube.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The exemplary embodiment of a measuring device 1 according to the invention shown in FIG. 1 comprises an oscillator 10 which comprises a pair of oscillatory measuring tubes 14 which run parallel and extend between an inlet-end flange 11 and an outlet-end flange 12, wherein the flanges each comprise a flow divider or collector into which the measuring tubes 14 open. The flow dividers are connected to one another by a rigid housing 15 so that oscillations of the flow dividers accommodating the measuring tubes are effectively suppressed in the range of oscillation frequencies of useful bending vibration modes of the oscillator. The measuring tubes 14 are rigidly connected to an inlet-side node plate 20 and an outlet-side node plate 21, wherein the node plates define oscillation nodes of the oscillator 10 formed by the two measuring tubes 14, and thus largely define the frequencies of the useful flexural vibration modes except for the density dependency. The oscillator 10 is excited to oscillate by an electrodynamic exciter 17 acting between the two measuring tubes 14, wherein the oscillations are detected by means of two oscillation sensors 18, 19 capturing relative movements of the measuring tubes 14 with respect to each other. The exciter 17 is operated by an operation and evaluation circuit 30, wherein the latter also captures and evaluates the signals from the oscillation sensors in order to determine a density or mass flow value corrected in relation to the resonator effect.

The effect of the resonator effect will now be explained in more detail on the basis of the density measurement for two media, namely water and carbon tetrachloride.

The relationship of a preliminary density value ρ_i of a fluid on the basis of the natural frequency f_i of an f_i-mode is described as:

${\rho }_i=c_{0i}+c_{1i}\frac{1}{f_i^2}+c_{2i}\frac{1}{f_i^4},$ where c_0i, c_1i, and c_2i are device-specific mode-dependent coefficients. The above coefficients are usually initially determined immediately following production of the measuring devices, wherein the vibration frequencies of the flexural vibration modes, in particular for the f1 mode, are determined for media of known density. Air at normal pressure and 20° C. and water at 20° C. are frequently used as the media.

Table 1 shows the observed frequencies of the f1 mode of an exemplary measuring device for these media and for carbon tetrachloride.

Table 1 also indicates the density, the sound velocity c, and the resulting resonance frequency for the medium vibrating against the measuring tube. An apparent density value is given In the “f1 apparent density” column, which density value would result due to the f1 frequency in a measuring device for which the resonator effect had been taken into account in the initial determination of the coefficients if the resonator effect is disregarded in the current density measurement. The contribution of the resonator effect to the apparent density is specified in the “resonator effect” column.

The “density error” column summarizes the situation of the prior art, according to which the resonator effect is disregarded not only in the initial determination of the coefficients c_0i, c_1i, and c_2i but also in the density measurement. The coefficients are rather selected such that the target density of 1.2 kg/m{circumflex over ( )}3 for air and the target density of 1000 kg/m{circumflex over ( )}3 for water are obtained. The measurement error for these two media is thus zero, while for carbon tetrachloride it is 1.3 kg/m{circumflex over ( )}3.

Table 2 shows the coefficients c_0i to c_2i for determining the density obtained on the basis of the natural frequency of the first flexural vibration mode without taking into account the resonator effect, wherein the relationship of a preliminary density value ρ_i of a liquid based on the natural frequency f_i of an f_i-mode is given here as:

${\rho }_i=c_{0i}+c_{1i}\frac{1}{f_i^2}+c_{2i}\frac{1}{f_i^4}$

Insofar as the density values of air and water were prespecified as reference densities during the calibration, the values of a measured apparent or preliminary density match the target value for density for these two media. However, for carbon tetrachloride, there is a deviation of 1.3 kg/m{circumflex over ( )}3. If the influence of the resonator effect on the initial calibration is taken into account and used for subsequent correction by means of an initial density correction term K_0i and additionally included in the correction of the current density measurement by means of a density correction term K_i, it will be possible to determine a correct media density, as indicated in the last column of Table 2.

The density correction term K_i for the preliminary or apparent density values ρ_i on the basis of that of the natural frequency of the f_i-mode has the following form:

$K_i:=\left(1+\frac{r}{{\left(\frac{g·c}{f_i}\right)}^2-b}\right),$ where r and g are media-independent constants, f_i is the natural frequency of the f_i-mode, ρ_corr is the corrected density, and b is a scaling constant, wherein in particular: r/b<1, in particular r/b<0.9, and/or b=1. In the above equation, g is a proportionality factor, which is in particular a function of the diameter of the measuring tube, between a resonance frequency f_res of the liquid and the sound velocity of the liquid, wherein the following applies:f_res=g·c

The sound velocity c of the liquid can, for example, be stored as a prespecified value, optionally with temperature correction, in a data memory and read out therefrom.

The corresponding initial density correction term K_0,i for the f_i-mode is to be determined as:

$K_{0,i}:=\left(1+\frac{r}{{\left(\frac{g·c_0}{f_{0,i}}\right)}^2-b}\right),$ In this case, c₀ is the sound velocity of the medium used in determining the coefficients for measuring the density of the medium used and f_0,i is the observed natural frequency of the f_i-mode.

In this case, the subsequently corrected density is to be calculated according to:

${\rho }_{\mathrm{corr}}={\rho }_i·\frac{K_{0,i}}{K_i}$

Finally Table 3 shows the coefficients c_{01_sos} to c_{21_sos} for determining the density obtained on the basis of the natural frequency of the first flexural vibration mode taking into account the resonator effect.

In this case, disregarding the resonator effect during measurement operation leads to considerable errors in the preliminary density ρ_i.

Carbon tetrachloride				1592.3937	1590.000
at 20° C.

In this case, the corrected density ρ_corr is to be determined according to:

${\rho }_{\mathrm{corr}}·=\frac{{\rho }_i}{K_i}$ wherein the density correction term K_i as previously given is as:

$K_i:=\left(1+\frac{r}{{\left(\frac{g·c}{f_i}\right)}^2-b}\right).$ Agreement between the corrected density values and the values in the literature is very good.

A first exemplary embodiment 100 of the method according to the invention is described with reference to the flow diagrams in FIGS. 2a and 2b, wherein the exemplary embodiment 100 serves for density measurement.

In a first step 110, as shown in FIG. 2a, a current value of the natural frequency of the basic flexural vibration mode or f1 mode is determined.

In a second step 120, a density measurement value is determined as a function of the current value of the natural frequency vibration parameters.

The second step 120 comprises the sub-steps shown in FIG. 2b.

Firstly, in a first sub-step 122, a preliminary density measurement value ρ_i is determined on the basis of the current value of the natural frequency f₁.

In the device used in this exemplary embodiment, the coefficients c_{01_sos} to c_{21_sos} were obtained taking into account the resonator effect. In measuring mode, therefore, corrections only need to be made for the resonator effect in the current measurement. For this purpose, in a second sub-step 124, a value for the sound velocity of the liquid currently conducted in the measuring tube is provided, for example from a data memory.

In a third sub-step 126, the density correction term K₁ is determined on the basis of the value for the natural frequency f1 and the sound velocity c of the liquid.

Finally, in a fourth sub-step 128, a corrected density measurement value ρ_corr is calculated by dividing the preliminary density measurement value ρ₁ by K₁.

If the coefficients c₀₁, c₁₁, c₂₁ were not determined taking into account the resonator effect, then multiplication by an initial density correction term K_0.1 will still need to be carried out in order to subsequently compensate for this error.

A second exemplary embodiment 200 of the method according to the invention is described with reference to the flow diagrams shown in FIGS. 3a and 3b, wherein the exemplary embodiment 200 serves for mass flow measurement.

In a first step 210, as shown in FIG. 3a, a current value of the time delay Δt proportional to the mass flow rate is ascertained between the rest position passages of two vibration sensors on the measuring tube.

In a second step 220, the mass flow measurement value is determined as a function of the current value of the time delay.

The second step 220 comprises the sub-steps shown in FIG. 3b.

Firstly, in a first sub-step 222, on the basis of the current value of the time delay Δt a preliminary mass flow value {dot over (m)}_v is determined by multiplying by a calibration factor calf. In the device used in this exemplary embodiment, the calibration coefficient calf was obtained taking into account the resonator effect.

In measuring mode, therefore, corrections only need to be made for the resonator effect in the current measurement.

For this purpose, in a second sub-step 224, a value for the sound velocity c of the liquid currently conducted in the measuring tube is provided, for example from a data memory.

In a third sub-step 226, the mass flow correction term K_m is determined on the basis of the value for the natural frequency fc at which the flow measurement takes place and the sound velocity c of the liquid according to:

$K_m:=1+a_1·{\left(\frac{4\pi ·f_c}{c}·r_t\right)}^2,$ where a₁ is a constant and r_t is the radius of the measuring tube or of the measuring tubes.

Finally, in a fourth sub-step 228, a corrected mass flow value {dot over (m)}_corr is calculated by dividing the preliminary mass flow value {dot over (m)}_v by K_m, i.e.:

${\stackrel{.}{m}}_{\mathrm{corr}}·=\frac{{\stackrel{.}{m}}_v}{K_m}.$

If the calibration factor calf was not determined taking into account the resonator effect, then multiplication by an initial mass flow correction term K_0,m will also need to take place in order to subsequently compensate for this error.
