Abstract
A pipe having a pipe element for conveying a medium in a flow direction and having a flange element for connecting the pipe element to a connection partner. The pipe element has a pipe body with a media passage opening for conveying the medium in the flow direction. The flange element has a flange body with a media passage opening for conveying the medium in the flow direction. The flange element is arranged at one end of the pipe element in such a way that the media passage openings at least substantially overlap. The pipe has a sensor element which is arranged in the flange body in such a way that at least a portion of the sensor element can be in contact with the medium.
Claims11
A pipe comprising a pipe element for conveying a medium in a flow direction, and having a flange element for connecting the pipe element to a connection partner;
- wherein the pipe element comprises a pipe body with a media passage opening for conveying the medium in the flow direction;
- wherein the flange element comprises a flange body with a media passage opening for conveying the medium in the flow direction;
- wherein the flange element is arranged at one end of the pipe element in such a way that the media passage openings at least essentially overlap;
- wherein the media passage opening of the pipe element and the media passage opening of the flange body together form at least part of a main fluid passageway of the pipe that is configured to convey the medium through the pipe in the flow direction;
- wherein a sensor element is arranged in the flange body such that at least a portion of the sensor element protrudes into the main fluid passageway so as to be in contact with the medium traveling in the flow direction through the main fluid passageway;
- wherein the flange element comprises a pulsation damping chamber which is configured as a recess inside the flange body and which opens towards the main fluid passageway;
- and,
- wherein the pulsation damping chamber is arranged directly opposite the portion of the sensor element protruding into the main fluid passageway of the pipe.
