Abstract

A Device for determining the flow of a flowing medium according to the float principle with at least one floating body and at least one measuring tube with medium flowing through it, wherein the floating body is movable in the measuring tube along an axis (4). To provide a device for measuring the flow rate according to the float principle that, in certain areas, shows insensitivity to changes in properties of the medium or changes of process variables affecting the properties of the medium, an actuating element is provided that acts upon the floating body depending on at least one property of the medium and/or depending on at least one process variable acting on a property of the medium.
