  • Patent number: 7137307
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic-inductive measuring device for flowing substances with at least one subsystem respectively for carrying the substances, recording measuring signals through a signal pickup, generating a magnetic field through at least two exciting coils and a ferromagnetic core and bounding the measuring device on the ambient side of the housing. The measuring device is characterized in that at least one of the subsystems is entirely or partly formed by layers of fibre composite material and/or is embedded in layers of fibre composite material.

  • Patent number: 7124645
    Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic-inductive measuring device (1) for flowing substances (substance being measured), with a measuring tube (2) and a further subsystem respectively for recording measuring signals, comprising a signal pickup (electrode arrangement (20, 22) for signal tapping), for generating a magnetic field, comprising at least two exciting coils (30) and a ferromagnetic core (32) (magnetic system), and for bounding the device on the ambient side (housing), and is characterized in that at least one of the further subsystems is entirely or partly formed by a casting compound and/or embedded in a casting compound.

  • Publication number: 20050146139
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flange connection, in particular for connecting the measuring pipe (6) of a measuring device for fluid substances to a process pipeline (4), comprising a flange disc on the device side (22) and a flange disc on the line side (22a), the flange disc on the device side (22) having an inner circumferential surface (24) and an outer circumferential surface, and it being possible for the pipe wall of the measuring pipe (6) to be formed, at least at the end zone of the pipe (8), by layers of different materials lying one on top of the other, and is characterized in that the pipe wall of the measuring pipe (6) has a radially outwardly pointing formation (12) at the end zone of the pipe (8), and in that in the installed state axial tensile forces can be transmitted from the flange disc on the device side (22) to the measuring pipe (6) via the formation (12).
