Abstract
A split can for a magnetic coupling includes a cylindrical jacket region and a base region connected to a first end of the jacket region. The jacket region has an inner wall and an outer wall enclosing the inner wall. The inner wall and the outer wall are spaced apart from each other in the radial direction by a gap, with the inner wall being integrally joined to the outer wall by a plurality of webs. The gap may be provided with a control medium which may be monitored to detect changes in one or more characteristics of the control medium indicative of split can leakage.
