Assignee: ENDRESS+HAUSER FLOWTEC AG
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A magnetically inductive flowmeter for determining flow velocity and/or volume flow and pressure of a medium, the flowmeter comprising:
a measuring tube adapted to convey the medium;
a magnetic field generating means comprising at least one coil and at least one coil core disposed in an interior of the at least one coil, wherein the at least one coil core is embodied as a hollow cylinder; and
at least one electrode assembly disposed in the measuring tube as to form a galvanic contact with the medium, the at least one electrode assembly comprising an electrode body, which is generally stylus-shaped and has a front end surface, and a pressure measuring transducer coupled with the electrode body, wherein the pressure measuring transducer is configured to be acted upon by a pressure acting on the front end surface,
wherein the at least one electrode assembly is disposed in the interior of the at least one coil core,
wherein the electrode body includes a bore open to the measuring tube, which bore defines a passageway that forms an integrated pressure supply duct for conveying the medium, and
wherein the electrode body is connected terminally with a hollow body.
