Abstract
A sensor for measuring the flow rate of a fluid in a flow tube, the sensor comprising sensing means and a sensor body, wherein a portion of the sensing means is located within the sensor body and a first portion of the sensor body is arranged to fasten the sensor body to the flow tube such that the sensor is positioned for sensing the flow rate of the fluid in the flow tube.
Claims16
A sensor for measuring a flow rate of a fluid in a flow tube, the sensor comprising sensing means and a sensor body, wherein:
- a portion of the sensing means is located within the sensor body;
- and
- a first portion of the sensor body is threaded and is arranged to threadably fasten the sensor body to the flow tube such that the sensor is positioned for sensing the flow rate of the fluid in the flow tube.
A flow tube for transporting a fluid, the flow tube comprising:
- an inlet;
- an outlet;
- and
- a connection point, wherein a portion of the connection point is threaded and the portion of the connection point is arranged to threadably fasten the flow tube to a sensor for measuring a flow rate of the fluid in the flow tube such that the sensor is positioned for sensing the flow rate of the fluid in the flow tube.
A method of assembling a flow meter assembly for measuring a flow rate of a fluid, the assembly comprising:
- a flow tube for transporting the fluid, the flow tube having an inlet, an outlet and a connection point;
- and
- a sensor for measuring the flow rate of the fluid, the sensor having sensing means and a sensor body, wherein a portion of the sensor body is threaded and a portion of the connection point is threaded, and wherein the portion of the sensor body and the portion of the connection point are arranged to threadably fasten the sensor body and the flow tube to each other such that the sensor is positioned for sensing the flow rate of the fluid in the flow tube;
- and
- wherein the method comprises the step of:
- threadably fastening the portion of the sensor and the portion of the connection point to each other.
