    Abstract: A temperature measuring device for determining a medium temperature by a temperature of a measuring point on a surface enclosing the medium includes: at least one measuring sensor; at least one reference sensor; and a measured value processing device which is connected via a cable to the at least one measuring sensor and via a cable to the at least one reference sensor. The at least one measuring sensor and the at least one reference sensor are arranged along a main thermal connection path between the surface enclosing the medium and surroundings. The at least one measuring sensor is arranged close to the measuring point. A thermal resistance between a relevant measuring sensor and the at least one reference sensor is smaller than a thermal resistance between a relevant reference sensor and the surroundings.

    Abstract: A system and method for non-invasive measurement of physical parameters of fluids in process pipes includes exciting the process pipe, measuring a vibration signal, and reducing the frequency range of the measured vibration signal to a range where a predicted resonant frequency is located. The method further comprises estimating the number of parameters and values for the parameters for a fitting algorithm, fitting the fitting algorithm to the processed measured vibration signal, and adapting the parameters so that the curve of the fitting algorithm fits to a curve of the processed measured vibration signal. The physical parameter is determined from the parameters.
