  • Conductive polymer reference connection for magnetic flowmeter
    Patent number: 11371868
    Abstract: An electromagnetic flowmeter assembly is provided. The assembly includes a magnetic flowmeter configured to couple to a process pipe at a coupling point and measure a flowrate of a flow of process fluid. The assembly includes a conductive polymer reference connection configured to contact the process fluid and provide an electrical connection to magnetic flowmeter electronics.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 28, 2022
    Assignee: Micro Motion, Inc.

  • Magnetic core configuration for magnetic flowmeters having a plurality of layers of magnetically permeable material
    Patent number: 9631962
    Abstract: A flowtube assembly for a magnetic flowmeter is provided. The flowtube assembly includes a flowtube configured to receive a flow of process fluid. A magnetic core is mounted relative to the flowtube and includes a plurality of layers of a magnetically permeable material. Each layer is substantially planar and is electrically insulated from others of the plurality of layers. A coil is disposed to generate a magnetic field having field lines that are substantially orthogonal to the plane of each layer.

  • Terminal feedthrough
    Patent number: 9590400
    Abstract: A terminal feedthrough is provided. The terminal feedthrough includes a terminal pin insert having a pair of ends. A polymeric body having an externally threaded region is disposed about the terminal pin insert to form an interface with the terminal pin insert. At least one of threads of the externally threaded region and a cylindrical pin interface is configured to provide a flame-quenching pathway.
