METHOD FOR PRODUCTION OF A MAGNETIC-INDUCTIVE FLOW METER

摘要

A method of producing a magnetic-inductive flow meter with at least one measurement tube, a magnetic field generating apparatus for generating a magnetic field which runs at least also perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measurement tube, and two measurement electrodes, the measurement tube having a metallic base body provided with a thermoplastic cover layer, a virtual connecting line of the two measurement electrodes running perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field which is permeating the measurement tube perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measurement tube. The penetration sites of the measurement tube at which the measurement electrodes penetrate the measurement tube are easily made liquid-tight by a liquid-tight connection which has been produced by heating of the cover layer at the penetration sites for sealing the thermoplastic cover layer of the measurement tube to the measurement electrodes.

1. A method for producing a magnetic-inductive flow meter having at least one measurement tube for through-flow of an electrically conductive medium having a metallic base body having a thermoplastic cover layer at least on an inside of the measurement tube, at least one magnetic field generating apparatus for generating a magnetic field which runs at least also perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the measurement tube and which permeates the measurement tube perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the measurement tube, and with at least two measurement electrodes, a virtual connecting line of the at least two measurement electrodes running at least essentially perpendicular to the direction of the magnetic field,
comprising the steps of: first, forming the penetration sites for penetration of the measurement electrodes through the measurement tube in the base body (7) of the measurement tube, then, providing the base body with a thermoplastic cover layer at least in a region of the penetration sites, and then, connecting the measurement electrodes to the measurement tube in a fluid-tight manner by heating the thermoplastic cover layer in the region of the penetration sites so as to by a heat seal the thermoplastic cover layer of the measurement tube to the measurement electrodes.
