Magnetic flow meter

A magnetic flow meter, comprising:

• a first spud end having a first wall thickness;
• a second spud end having a second wall thickness;
• a sensing area positioned between the first spud end and the second spud end, and the sensing area has a third wall thickness that is thinner than the first wall thickness and the second wall thickness;
• electrodes positioned in the sensing area;
• a register including a battery, a printed circuit board assembly, and a display device;
• a tube gasket positioned between the register and the sensing area;
• and
• a printed circuit board to connect the electrodes to the printed circuit board assembly of the register,
• wherein the printed circuit board passes through a slit in the tube gasket and the tube gasket is compressed to hermetically seal the register.
