Magnetic-inductive flowmeter and method for producing a measuring electrode

A method for producing a magnetic-inductive flowmeter for measuring flow of a medium flowing longitudinally through a measuring tube thereof, the method comprising:

• producing an electrode sheath by injection molding an electrically non-conductive plastic, the injection molded sheath forming the measuring tube and defining a recess within a wall thereof;
• and
• producing an electrode core by injection molding an electrically conductive plastic to fill the wall recess, the injection molded core comprising a longitudinal axis extending perpendicular to the longitudinal flow direction of the measuring tube and comprising a core section extending essentially perpendicular with respect to each of the longitudinal axis of the electrode core and the longitudinal flow direction, and the core section being enclosed within the interior of said wall except for an outermost face of the core section from which a cylindrical recess is defined within the core section extending along the essentially perpendicular direction for accommodating an outer electrode connection.
