Abstract: A flowmeter is provided to have a measuring tube, in or on which a measuring system is arranged. The flowmeter includes pinch seal sleeves which are arranged at both ends of the measuring tube for connecting the measuring tube to a process pipeline. According to an exemplary configuration, the pinch seal sleeves and/or the inner surfaces of the pinch seal sleeves are composed of an electrically insulating material and/or coated with an electrically insulating material. To make the device lighter in enable fast installation, the measuring tube can be made flangeless.
