Abstract
A measuring device for determining the density, the mass flow and/or the viscosity of a gas-charged liquid includes an oscillator, having a media-conducting measuring tube and two vibrational modes having media-density-dependent natural frequencies; an exciter for exciting the two vibrational modes; a vibrational sensor for detecting vibrations of the oscillator; and an operating and evaluating circuit to apply an excitation signal to the exciter, detect signals of the vibration sensor, determine current values of the natural frequencies of the two vibrational modes of the oscillator and fluctuations of the natural frequencies. The operating and evaluating circuit is designed to determine a first media state value, wherein the operating and evaluating circuit is furthermore designed to determine a second media state value which represents a gas charge of the medium.
