Patent ID: 7650796

Claim:
An apparatus for measuring and/or monitoring the flow of a medium to be measured, flowing through a measuring tube in the direction of the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube, comprising: a magnet arrangement which produces a magnetic field passing through the measuring tube and running essentially transversely to the longitudinal axis of the measuring tube; two measuring electrodes which are galvanically or capacitively coupled with the medium to be measured and arranged in such a manner that a measurement voltage is induced in them, evoked by the medium to be measured; an evaluation/control unit, which, on the basis of the measurement voltage induced in said measuring electrode, or measuring electrodes, provides information concerning the volume flow of the medium to be measured, in the measuring tube; connecting lines or signal lines by way of which measurement signals are led between said measuring electrodes and said control/evaluation unit, wherein: said signal lines are arranged essentially in a planar structure.
