Abstract
A method for determining the viscosity of a medium with a Coriolis mass flowmeter having at last two measuring tubes through which a medium can flow, comprising: exciting the measuring tubes; and determining at least the viscosity of the medium by evaluation of measured values obtained from the measuring device. The measuring values comprise the amplitude of torsional oscillation reached, wherein the amplitude of torsional oscillation reached is evaluated for determining the viscosity of the medium at a set excitation intensity of the measuring device and using the damping coefficient of the medium.
