Patent ID: 7926361

Claim:
A measuring system for registering at least one measured variable of a medium flowing in a process line, said measuring system comprising: an inlet; a measuring transducer including a measuring tube and a sensor arrangement with at least one sensor element reacting to the variable to be registered, said measuring tube serving for conveying the medium to be measured and said measuring tube showing a flow cross section smaller than a supply segment of the process line connected to said inlet of the measuring system, and said measuring transducer providing, by means of the at least one sensor element, at least one measurement signal influenced by the measured variable; measuring electronics communicating with said measuring transducer and producing, at least at times, taking into consideration the at least one measurement signal, at least one measured value instantaneously representing the measured variable; and a flow conditioner arranged at an inlet of said measuring tube, said flow conditioner mediating between said measuring tube and the supply segment of the process line and showing a lumen, which tapers toward said measuring tube and through which medium flows during operation, wherein: said flow conditioner including an inlet end facing the supply segment of the process line and showing a flow cross section, which is greater than the flow cross section of said measuring tube; said flow conditioner including an outlet end facing toward said measuring tube and showing a flow cross section, which is smaller than the flow cross section of the inlet end of the flow conditioner; said flow conditioner including, arranged upstream of its outlet end, at least one impingement surface, which protrudes into the lumen of the flow conditioner and against which medium, conveyed in the flow conditioner, flows during operation; and said at least one inner edge protruding into said lumen of said flow conditioner is formed by keeping the inner diameter of the inlet end of said flow conditioner smaller than the caliber of the supply segment of said process line.
