Abstract
Abstract A measured value recording device for magnetic-inductive flow meters includes a ferromagnetic jacket which snugly encircles an electrically insulating tube piece through which fluid can flow. Measuring electrodes are located in diametrically opposite bores in the tube piece and magnet coils are positioned in diametrically opposite radial recesses in the jacket with their inner ends projecting into holes in the tube piece to releasably lock together the jacket and tube piece.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
162 words
In a measured value recording device for magnetic inductive flow meters of the type including a cylindrical jacket (6) of a ferromagnetic material, a tube piece (1) of an electrically insulating material axially inserted in the jacket (6), measuring electrodes (3) arranged in diametrically opposite bores (4) of the tube piece (1) and magnet coils (7) affixed with their coil core (12) diametrically opposite at the jacket (6) and connected to a power source in order to create a magnetic field penetrating substantially transverse to the longitudinal axis of the tube piece, the improvement wherein A. the jacket (6) snugly encircles the tube piece (1); B. a pair of diametrically opposite radial recesses (8) are formed in the jacket; C. a pair of holes (5) are formed in the tube piece in register with the jacket recesses; and D. the magnet coils (7) are positioned in the recesses (8) with their inner ends projecting into said holes (5) of the tube piece.
