Abstract
A measuring device includes a measuring transducer, which includes a protection housing, two connection connectors, and a fluid line, which extends from a first end to a second end, wherein the first and second ends of the fluid line are each connected to one of the connection connectors, respectively, and wherein at least one of the connection connectors includes a metal compensator in a region located between a first connector end and a second connector end, which second end forms an end of the protection housing adjacent the first and/or second end of the fluid line.
Claims25
A measuring device for measuring at least one measurement variable of a fluid measured substance conducted in a pipe, which measuring device comprises:
- a measuring transducer configured to generate at least one measurement signal that corresponds to the at least one measurement variable;
- and
- a measuring device electronic unit, which is electrically connected to the measuring transducer and configured to process the at least one measurement signal,
- wherein the measuring transducer comprises:
- a transducer protection housing;
- a first connection connector including a lumen encased by a wall made of metal and extending from a first flow opening located in a first connector end of the first connection connector to a second flow opening located in a second connector end of said first connection connector;
- a second connection connector including a lumen encased by a wall and extending from a first flow opening located in a first connector end of the second connection connector to a second flow opening located in a second connector end of said second connection connector;
- and
- a first fluid line comprising a lumen encased by a wall and extending from a first flow opening located in a first line end of the first fluid line to a second flow opening located in a second line end of said first fluid line,
- wherein the first fluid line is connected both at its first line end to the second line end of the first connection connector and at the second line end thereof to the second line end of the second connection connector,
- wherein said transducer protection housing comprises a cavity encased by a wall within which the first fluid line is placed,
- wherein a first housing end of the protection housing is formed by means of the first connection connector and a second housing end of the transducer protection housing is formed by the second connection connector such that the protection housing has a side wall laterally bounding the cavity, at least in part, which is connected in a fixed manner both at the second line end of the first connection connector and also at the second line end of the second connection connector or is connected in a bonded manner therewith in each case, and
- wherein at least the first connection connector includes, in a region located between its first connector end and its second connector end, which forms the first housing end a metal compensator.
