Abstract
In a device and method for measuring a mass flow rate of a fluid, a housing has two hollow pipes communicating with one another and having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, an electromagnetic excitation unit excites vibrations in the hollow pipes, two electromagnetic adapters are associated correspondingly with the two pipes and provides signals which are proportional to a speed of vibrations of the pipes of said housing, and an electronic block connected with the electromagnetic excitation unit and with the electromagnetic adapters determines a mass flow rate of a fluid, a correction associated with inclusions in the fluid and constituted by a ratio of a voltage amplitude of the adapters and a voltage amplitude of excitation of vibrations by the electromagnetic excitation unit, and a corrected mass flow rate of the fluid based on the determined mass flow and the determined correction.
