Abstract

See full text

A method for operating a nuclear magnetic flowmeter having a measuring device for determining the flow of the medium through the measuring tube, the measuring device having a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field permeating the medium and the measuring tube and for carrying out nuclear magnetic measurements of measuring volumes that are adjustable in position and size in the magnetic field. The nuclear magnetic measurements involve adjusting the size of the measuring volume, positioning the measuring volume, generating excitation signals for exciting the medium, transmitting excitation signals into the measuring volume and measuring echo signals caused by the excitation signals. Deposits on the inner wall of the measuring tube are determined from echo signals of all nuclear magnetic measurements assigned to the position of the measuring volume of the respective nuclear magnetic measurement and at least one abrupt change in the echo signals detected.
