Abstract
A method for operating a vibratory flowmeter (5) is provided. The method includes placing a process fluid in the vibratory meter (5) and measuring entrained gas in the process fluid. A measurement confidence level is determined for at least one operating variable.
Claims20
A method for operating a vibratory flowmeter comprising:
- placing a process fluid in the vibratory meter;
- measuring entrained gas in the process fluid;
- and
- determining a measurement confidence level of at least one operating variable.
Meter electronics (20) for a flowmeter (5) configured to receive a process fluid, the meter electronics (20) comprising an interface (201) configured to communicate with a flowmeter assembly of the flowmeter (5), and receive a vibrational response, and a processing system (203) coupled to the interface (201) comprising:
- a measurement confidence routine (215) configured to:
- measure an entrained gas in the process fluid;
- and
- determine a measurement confidence level of at least one operating variable.
