Abstract
A flow measuring device for ascertaining a corrected measured value of a flow velocity and/or a corrected mass flow of a medium, especially a gas, in a measuring tube, including: an apparatus for ascertaining a first measured value of flow velocity and/or mass flow of the medium by thermal, mass flow measurement; an apparatus for ascertaining velocity of sound and/or frequency dependent damping of an acoustic signal, especially an ultrasonic signal, in the medium and/or an apparatus for ascertaining an optical, wavelength dependent absorption of an optical and/or excited fluorescence of the medium, and an evaluation unit for correcting the ascertained first measured value of mass flow or flow velocity based on the ascertained sound velocity values and/or the frequency dependent, ascertained damping values of the acoustic signal and/or the ascertained absorption values of the optical signal and/or the florescence values of the medium, and method for ascertaining a corrected measured value of flow velocity and/or mass flow, and use of the device and method.
