  • Flow meter
    Patent number: 12140459
    Abstract: A flow meter for determining the flow velocity of a fluid in a media line, having a sensor base having a bluff body and a sensor body, an electronics unit and a signal interface. The bluff body is arranged substantially upstream of the sensor body in the direction of flow. The sensor body has a carrier part and a substrate arrangement having at least one ceramic substrate, and an anemometer sensor unit and a vortex meter sensor unit are arranged on the substrate arrangement.

  • SENSOR BODY HAVING A MEASURING ELEMENT AND METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING FOR A SENSOR BODY
    Publication number: 20230349776
    Abstract: A sensor body for receiving a pressurized fluid or for absorbing a force, having a membrane and at least one strain sensitive measuring element disposed on the membrane, comprising, a semiconductor substrate and at least one piezo resistive resistance track, wherein the resistance track is formed in the semiconductor substrate by means of doping. According to the invention, the measuring element is connected to the membrane by means of a lead-free glass solder and the measuring element is arranged, at least in sections, sunk into the glass solder. A measuring element, a pressure sensor, a force measuring device, a method for manufacturing a sensor body and the use of a measuring element is also provided.
