Abstract
Meter electronics () for quantifying a fluid being transferred is provided. The meter electronics () includes an interface () configured to communicate with a flowmeter assembly of a vibratory flowmeter and receive a vibrational response and a processing system () coupled to the interface (). The processing system () is configured to measure a mass flow and a density for a predetermined time portion of the fluid transfer, determine if the fluid transfer is non-aerated during the predetermined time portion, if the predetermined time portion is non-aerated then add a mass-density product to an accumulated mass-density product and add the mass flow to an accumulated mass flow, and determine a non-aerated mass-weighted density for the fluid transfer by dividing the accumulated mass-density product by the accumulated mass flow.
