  • Patent number: 9482564
    Abstract: A magnetic-inductive flowmeter, having a plurality of functional units and a housing common to all the functional units, wherein each functional unit has a measuring tube, a magnetic field generating device, and two measuring electrodes, and wherein a virtual connecting line of the two measuring electrodes extends at least substantially at right angles to the direction of the magnetic field penetrating the measuring tube at right angles to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube. In the housing, there is a common medium feed connection for the measuring tubes of all the functional units, a common power supply for the magnetic field generating device of all the functional units, and a common evaluation unit for the measuring electrodes of all the functional units. The magnetic field generating device has a field coil adjoined on both sides by a magnetic field guide part extending at right angles to the coil axis.

  • Publication number: 20060115647
    Abstract: A stick-on nameplate for a measuring instrument, with an adhesive layer serving to attach the nameplate on a surface of the measuring instrument, and with a superstratum to be imprinted for labeling purposes in which a diffusion-inhibiting intermediate layer is interpositioned between the adhesive layer and the superstratum. As a result, an aggressive substance present in a hazardous location cannot penetrate all the way to the adhesive layer and damage it, so that a secure adhesive bond between the nameplate and the measuring instrument is ensured for a long time.
