Abstract

A flow meter comprises electrodes (16, 18), induction windings (12, 14), a winding driver circuit (20), and a processor circuit (22). The winding excitation current is a combination of a current of period T.sub.1 and a current of period T.sub.2, where T.sub.2 >T.sub.1. The processor circuit (22) processes the voltage signal sent by the electrodes and generates intermediate measurement signals of periods T.sub.1 and T.sub.2. These signals are then used to generate a correction signal for removing the relaxation effect from the measurement signal S.
