Abstract
A system for, and method of, compensating for a boundary condition effect on a Coriolis meter having (at least) two sensors for generating preliminary signals that are a function of fluid flow through the meter and a Coriolis meter employing the system or the method. In one embodiment, the system includes: (1) signal combination circuitry, couplable to the (at least) two sensors, that develops an imaginary difference signal based on the preliminary signals and (2) boundary effect compensation circuitry, coupled to the signal combination circuitry, that calculates a boundary effect compensation factor based on the imaginary difference signal.
