Abstract
A flow measurement system for performing an adjustable concurrent recalibration during a measurement operation, a computer program product which simulates operational behavior of the flow measurement system and a method for calibrating the flow measurement system that is mounted on a tube that encloses a medium, wherein the flow measurement system is provided in an active operating state and the flow measurement system includes a first flow rate sensor, where an ultrasound pulse is emitted into the tube wall via a first or second ultrasonic head of the first flow rate sensor, an ultrasound echo is received via the second ultrasonic head, the signal propagation time of the ultrasound pulse and echo are determined, a tube wall thickness is determined based on the determined signal propagation time, and a calibration parameter of the first flow rate sensor is set, where the calibration parameter includes at least the tube wall thickness.
