  • Patent number: 7251985
    Abstract: A measuring arrangement, including: a measuring transmitter with a sensor for registering a property of a medium and for issuing a primary signal dependent on the property; a transmitter housing, with at least one chamber and a first opening on the side facing the medium as well as a second opening, with a first contamination path section extending between the openings through the chamber; a first seal, which interrupts the first contamination path section; a circuit in the chamber, for processing the primary signal and producing an output signal, which is issued over a first signal path section through the second opening; a safety module, which includes: a module housing with at least one module chamber, having a first module opening on the side facing the transmitter and a second module opening, wherein a second contamination path section reaches from the first module opening at least as far as into the module chamber; at least a second seal, which interrupts the second contamination path section; and a sec

  • Patent number: 4850213
    Abstract: A filling level measuring device for measuring the filling level of explosive media in a container is provided. The device includes a sonic or ultrasonic transducer and a mounting flange for mounting the filling level measuring device on the container. The separation necessary between the explosive media within the container and the electrical operating means of the filling level measuring device is effected by a planar homogeneous metallic surface of the mounting flange which faces the container interior and which includes a diaphragm of the sonic or ultrasonic transducer. To form the diaphragm in the mounting flange on its side remote from the container interior, the mounting flange is formed to include a cylindrical recess whose axis of symmetry coincides with that of the mounting flange. The sonic or ultrasonic transducer is disposed substantially within the recess formed in the mounting flange.
