Patent ID: 8806956

Claim:
A magnetic flowmeter sensor for detecting a flow rate of a process fluid flow, the sensor comprising: two sensor faces, one on each end of the sensor for connecting the sensor to the process fluid flow; a conduit connecting the two sensor faces for conducting the process fluid flow through the sensor; a liner lining the conduit for preventing physical contact between the process fluid flow and the conduit; the liner extending the full length of the conduit, and extending across at least a portion of each sensor face at each end of the sensor to form a planar sealing surface at each end of the sensor; the liner on each end including a plurality of holes; and a plurality of mechanical fasteners passing through the plurality of holes to mechanically attach the liner on each end of the sensor to the flowmeter sensor to prevent shifting of the liner, wherein the plurality of mechanical fasteners do not extend beyond the planar sealing surface at each end of the sensor.
