Abstract
A meter electronics () and a method for detecting and identifying a change in a vibratory meter () is provided. The meter electronics () includes an interface () configured to receive sensor signals () from a meter assembly () and provide information based on the sensor signals () and a processing system () communicatively coupled to the interface (). The processing system () is configured to use the information to determine a first stiffness change () associated with a first location of a conduit (') of the vibratory meter (), determine a second stiffness change () associated with a second location of the conduit (′) of the vibratory meter (), and determine a condition of the conduit (′) based on the first stiffness change and the second stiffness change.
