Abstract
A Coriolis flow meter, which includes: at least one measuring tube, which is excited to oscillate during measurement operation, and through which a medium flows, first and second sensors for registering a flow-dependent oscillation of the measuring tube and for producing first and second sensor signals; and two separated, signal-processing branches. According to a method of flow measurement a reference signal is superimposed on the first or second of the sensor signals, by the passing through both signal processing branches of an auxiliary signal formed by the superimposing, and by the filtering of a first, conditioned, reference signal from a first signal occurring on the output of the first signal processing branch and the filtering of a second, conditioned, reference signal from a second signal occurring on the output of the second signal processing branch, and by determining a ratio of the amplification gains of the signal processing branches on the basis of the conditioned, reference signals.
