Abstract
A method for operating a flowmeter for measuring the flow of a flowing medium through a pipe, wherein the flowmeter has a measuring unit for determining individual measured values of the flow and an error unit for determining the measurement uncertainty of the individual measured values. Determination of the individual measured values is carried out using a measuring frequency. A method for operating a flowmeter, which improves the quality of measurement is achieved in that a present measurement uncertainty is determined for each individual measured value by the error unit and by the measurement uncertainties from static and dynamic error sources being linked to one another by error propagation for determining the present measurement uncertainty.
