1. A method for calculating a fluid parameter of a fluid flowing through at least a first vibratory flow meter, comprising the steps of:
- vibrating the flow meter at one or more frequencies;
receiving a vibrational response;
generating a first fluid property of the fluid;
generating at least a second fluid property of the fluid; and
calculating a fluid parameter based on the first fluid property and the at least second fluid property.
