  • Patent number: 8910527
    Abstract: Exemplary embodiments relate to a vortex flowmeter having a vortex body which projects into the flowing measurement medium in a measuring tube, a sensor for detecting the vortex frequency being connected downstream of said vortex body in the direction of flow and being provided with means for measuring the temperature of the measurement medium, and a downstream electronic evaluation unit determining the flow rate in a temperature-compensated manner, the sensor including a carrier body on which a plurality of piezoelectric elements, which are arranged at a distance from one another and are intended to measure the frequency, and a temperature-measuring element are placed.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7814802
    Abstract: A method is disclosed for producing a connection between a measuring tube and at least one flange, e.g., in the case of a Coriolis mass flowmeter. In order to ensure reliable connection of the components in this case, the measuring tube can be inserted at one end over a portion through a flange bore, such that it projects out of the bore on the other side, and that the projecting end be flared out over the sealing face of the flange.

  • Publication number: 20080156110
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method for fixing an attachment part on the measurement tube of a Coriolis mass flowmeter at at least two connection points. According to the disclosure, the measurement tube and the attachment part are soldered to one another in a single hard-soldering process at the same time at the at least two connection points.

  • Publication number: 20080124186
    Abstract: A device for fastening an attachment to a measuring tube of a Coriolis mass flowmeter, comprising a clamping part, which can be pushed onto the measuring tube and can be pressed against the measuring tube by clamping means, the clamping part being formed in the manner of a slotted conical hollow screw, which interacts with a corresponding cone nut as a clamping means in such a way that, when the cone nut is screwed onto the clamping part, the inwardly directed radial force created as a result presses the clamping part against the measuring tube.

  • Publication number: 20080028593
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a cohesive connection between a tube and a built-in housing, in particular for fixing a measuring tube in the housing of a flowmeter, according to the preamble of patent claims 1 and 4. In order to ensure a reliable connection between the components in this case so that a reliable measurement using the Coriolis mass flowmeter is possible, the invention proposes that ring or tube sections are first of all applied to the measuring tube at least one of said connection locations and are connected to the measuring tube by means of a hard solder connection and, in the region of the ring or tube sections which have been soldered on, the latter are then welded to the housing or housing flanges.
