FIELD: physics.
SUBSTANCE: measuring system comprises: at least one temperature sensor, at least one pressure sensor, at least one flow sensor and an electronic measuring unit. The temperature sensor is placed at a temperature measurement point, reacts mainly to local temperature (ϑ) of the flowing medium and transmits at least one temperature measurement signal under the effect of the local temperature of the medium being measured. The pressure sensor is placed at a pressure measurement point, reacts mainly to local, particularly static, pressure (p) of the flowing medium and transmits at least one pressure measurement signal under the effect of the local pressure (p) of the medium being measured. The electronic measuring unit is connected, at least temporarily, to the temperature sensor, pressure sensor and flow sensor. The electronic measuring unit determines a pre-measured density value which is density the flowing medium is only assumed to have at a virtual density measurement point, particularly a density measurement point lying at a predetermined distance along the axis of flow from the pressure measurement point and/or temperature measurement point. The electronic measuring unit, using said pre-measured density value, as well as at least a density correction value determined during operation and depending on the flow rate of the medium as well as local temperature which is predominant at the temperature measurement point, at least temporarily, at least one measured density value, particularly a digital measured density value, different from the pre-measured density value and which, in form of an instantaneous value, is more accurate than the pre-measured density value, the local density (ρ) which the flowing medium actually has at the virtual density measurement point.
EFFECT: high accuracy of measuring pressure or temperature of fluid medium.
