  • Coriolis flowmeter having bi-metallic process connections
    Patent number: 6523421
    Abstract: Method and apparatus defining bi-metallic process connections for a Coriolis flowmeter that are metallurgically bonded to form a sealed structure without the use of an O-ring or other elastomeric seal. The process connections comprise a first metal metallurgically bonded to a dissimilar metal to form a sealed process connection. The bond between the first metal and the dissimilar metal is outside the process material pathway so that the process connections in conjunction with the flowmeter form a flow path enclosed by a single metal.
