  • Patent number: 10502599
    Abstract: A polymeric flow tube assembly is provided. The flow tube assembly includes a flow conduit configured to allow fluid flow therethrough. A first coil is mounted with respect to the flow conduit and disposed about a first magnetic pole member. A second coil is mounted with respect to the flow conduit and is disposed about a second magnetic pole member. The second magnetic pole member is configured to cooperate with the first magnetic pole member to generate an electromagnetic field across a flow measurement aperture. First and second electrodes are positioned within the flow tube assembly to measure an electromotive force generated within a fluid in the flow measurement aperture. At least one of the first magnetic pole member, second magnetic pole member, first electrode and second electrode is formed, at least in part, of a polymer.

  • Patent number: 9410831
    Abstract: A magnetic flowmeter flowtube assembly includes a conduit having a first end with a first flange and a second end with a second flange. A fluoropolymer liner is disposed within and extending through the first flange, the conduit and the second flange. A first lining protector is mounted to the first flange and a second lining protector mounter to the second flange. A first spring-energized seal is disposed between the first lining protector and the fluoropolymer liner. A second spring-energized seal is disposed between the second lining protector and the fluoropolymer liner.
