Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A magnetic-inductive flowmeter for measuring flow of a flowing medium, having a measuring tube, a magnetic field generator, at least one measuring electrode and a measuring section that is flat on one side having a planar measuring tube portion. Furthermore, the magnetic field generator has at least one coil core and a pole shoe. The magnetic-inductive flowmeter is improved compared to the prior art by several support lugs being present between the planar measuring tube portion and the pole shoe.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. Magnetic-inductive flowmeter for measuring flow of a flowing medium, comprising: a measuring tube, a magnetic field generator for generating a magnetic field at least partially interfusing the measuring tube, the magnetic field generator having at least one coil core and one pole shoe, at least one measuring electrode for tapping a measuring voltage induced in the flowing medium, wherein the measuring tube has a central measuring section including the measuring electrodes that is flat on one side having a planar measuring tube portion, and, wherein several support lugs are present between the planar measuring tube portion and the pole shoe and support the pole shoe spaced from the planar measuring tube portion. 2. Magnetic-inductive flowmeter according to claim 1 , wherein the support lugs are part of at least one of the pole shoe and to the planar measuring tube portion. 3. Magnetic-inductive flowmeter according to claim 1 , wherein the pole shoe is formed of one or several pole shoe parts. 4. Magnetic-inductive flowmeter according to claim 1 , wherein the pole shoe rests on the support lugs. 5. Magnetic-inductive flowmeter according to claim 1 , wherein the support lugs are located near corners of the planar measuring tube portion. 6. Magnetic-inductive flowmeter according to claim 1 , wherein two stop elements are provided at opposite ends of the planar measuring tube portion and wherein the pole shoe is arranged along a longitudinal axis of the measuring tube between the two stop elements. 7. Magnetic-inductive flowmeter according to claim 6 , wherein the pole shoe has a recess at each of opposite sides thereof into which a respective one of the two stop elements is partially received.
