  • Patent number: 10052627
    Abstract: A measuring arrangement comprising: a support element having a longitudinal axis, wherein a sensor for ascertaining a process variable of a gaseous or liquid fluid is arranged on the support element; and the sensor, wherein the sensor has a fluid duct, which extends within the sensor. The support element has a fluid duct, and for mechanical connection of the fluid duct with the fluid duct of the sensor a bonding layer, which extends over a portion of a surface of the support element and over a portion of a surface of the sensor. The bonding layer comprises at least one fluorinated polymer. The support element has for connection of the fluid duct of the support element with the fluid duct of the sensor, in each case, at least one connection element, which protrude from the support element perpendicularly to the longitudinal axis and which protrude inwardly into the fluid duct of the sensor.

  • Publication number: 20150316401
    Abstract: A thermal, flow measuring apparatus for determining and/or monitoring flow of a measured medium through a measuring tube, comprising at least two temperature sensors, wherein a first temperature sensor is heatable, and a second temperature sensor serves to provide the temperature of the measured medium. According to the invention, the thermal, flow measuring apparatus has at least one measuring transducer for ascertaining the following properties of the medium: thermal conductivity, heat capacity, density and dynamic viscosity or thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, density and dynamic viscosity.
