Measuring tube for a flow measuring device and flow measuring device

摘要

A measuring tube for a flow measuring device, wherein the measuring tube has a measuring tube axis A and a measuring tube wall. The measuring tube has a branch with a branch axis B and a wall of the branch, wherein the wall of the branch is arranged on the measuring tube wall, and the wall of the branch is connected with the measuring tube wall by a welded joint. In the transitional region between the wall of the branch and the measuring tube wall there is a specially embodied thickening of the material, which is either part of the wall of the branch or part of the measuring tube wall.

1. A measuring tube for a flow measuring device, comprising:
a measuring tube axis; a measuring tube wall; and a branch with a branch axis and a wall of said branch, wherein: the wall of said branch is arranged on said measuring tube wall and is connected with said measuring tube wall by a welded joint; the course of an outer contour of said measuring tube defines in at least one cutting plane defined by said branch axis and said measuring tube axis a transitional region, in which the outer contour transfers from a course parallel to said measuring tube axis to a course parallel to said branch axis, said measuring tube wall and/or the wall of said branch have/has in said transitional region a thickening of material surrounding said branch axis, said thickening has in cross section a straight sloped surface or a rounded surface, said thickening is part of the wall of said branch or part of said measuring tube wall, and said sloped surface or rounded surface forms a subsection of the outer contour of said measuring tube, said thickening has a starting point, where the wall thickness of said measuring tube wall or the wall of said branch increases relative to a preceding section and an end point; said sloped surface or said rounded surface transitions into an adjoining section; lines extend respectively from the starting point and from the end point with a first of these lines extends parallel to said measuring tube axis and a second of these lines extends parallel to said branch axis and said first and said second lines have an intersection, which defines beginning- and end points of a triangle; and said intersection and the point of said sloped surface or said stamped surface nearest to said intersection define a thickening distance of the material, which amounts to greater than or equal to 0.7 times the wall thickness of said wall of said branch, when the wall thickness of said wall of said branch is less than the wall thickness of said measuring tube wall, or greater than or equal to 0.7 times the wall thickness of said measuring tube wall, when the wall thickness of said measuring tube wall is less than the wall thickness of said wall of said branch or wherein the thickening distance of the material amounts to maximum 6 mm.
