Abstract
The present invention relates to an improved electrode apparatus. More particularly, the present invention relates to an improved electrode apparatus for use with/as a part of a magnetic flowmeter. Even more particularly, the present invention relates to an improved electrode design for use with/as a part of magnetic flowmeters that are capable of withstanding high pressures and a variety of corrosive slurries, acids, bases, and solvents.
Claims13
An electrode apparatus for use with a magnetic flowmeter, comprising:
- a. an electrode shaft having two opposing ends, with a tip at one end and an electrode head at the other end;
- b. with said electrode head having a first component and a second component,
- c. wherein said first component has a varying diameter and two opposing ends, with one end interfacing with the shaft, and the other end interfacing with the second component;
- d. wherein said first component is generally trapezoidal in shape in a side profile view, with said diameter as generally smaller at the interface with said shaft than at the interface with said second component;
- e. wherein said second component has two opposing ends, with one said end interfacing with said first component and the other end providing a face;
- and
- f. wherein said face protrudes into the interior of the magnetic flowmeter.
