A method for producing a probe of a thermal flowmeter for measuring mass flow of a medium in a measuring tube, wherein a probe core is provided arranged loosely in a probe sleeve having a longitudinal axis, wherein the probe sleeve is deformed relative to the longitudinal axis completely radially in the direction of the probe core by means of high energy rate forming, wherein a material-locking connection between probe sleeve and probe core results and a rod is formed, wherein the rod represents a base body that is used for probe production, wherein a deformation speed reaches values greater than 100 m/s, and wherein the high energy rate forming includes explosive forming or magnetic forming.

Method for producing a probe of a thermal flowmeter, probe of a thermal flowmeter, and thermal flowmeter

A thermal flow measuring device comprising a sensor with a metal sensor housing, the sensor housing including at least a first and a second pin sleeve extending from a base, each pin sleeve having a longitudinal axis and an end face, the two pin sleeves defining a connecting axis, wherein in the first pin sleeve a first heater is arranged and in the second pin sleeve a temperature sensor is arranged, wherein the sensor housing includes at least a third pin sleeve, having a second heater, and a flow obstruction embodied such that the third pin sleeve is arranged in a first flow direction at least partially in the flow shadow of the flow obstruction, wherein the first flow direction extends at an angle of 80-100&#xb0; to the connecting axis and lies on a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the first and second pin sleeves.

Thermal, flow measuring device and arrangement with a tube or pipe and the thermal, flow measuring device

The present disclosure relates to a method for producing a probe of a thermal flow meter for measuring the mass flow rate of a medium in a measuring tube, the method having the following steps: introducing a probe core in the form of a material to be melted into a first probe casing, the first probe casing having an open first end and a closed second end facing away from the first end; melting the probe core; quenching the probe core to a temperature below the solidification temperature; attaching a thermoelement to a contact surface of the solidified probe core. The invention also relates to a probe obtained according to the production method and to a flow meter including the probes according to the present disclosure.

Method for producing a sensing element for a thermal flow meter, sensing element and flow meter

The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a probe of a thermal, flow measuring device for measuring mass flow of a liquid in a measuring tube, wherein the method includes: introducing a probe core including a hard solder and a core element into a first probe sleeve, wherein the first probe sleeve has an open first end and a closed second end away from the first end; melting the hard solder; affixing the core element by cooling the hard solder to a temperature less than the solidification temperature; and applying a thermoelement to a contact area of the core element or of the solidified hard solder. The present disclosure relates, furthermore, to a probe resulting from the manufacturing process as well as to a flow measuring device having at least one probe of the-present disclosure.

Thermal flow measuring device including probe having probe core with hard solder

The application discloses a thermal, flow measuring device comprising: a sensor including a metal sensor housing having a hollow body and a base; and at least first and second pin sleeves protruding from the base. In a first of the two pin sleeves a first heater is provided and in a second of the two pin sleeves a temperature sensor is provided for ascertaining a temperature of a medium. At least two elongated elements extend with at least the same length as the pin sleeves starting from the hollow body in parallel with the two pin sleeves. On a cutting plane perpendicular to the sensor axis another axis extends that is perpendicular to the connecting axis and wherein the separation of the elongated elements in their course parallel with the axis lessens in certain regions.

A sensor of a thermal flow measuring device, as well as the flow measuring device itself. The sensor comprises a sensor platform, which bears at least one measuring sensor element and a heated sensor element. Each of the at least two sensor elements is surrounded by a metal sleeve, which protrudes from the sensor platform. The sensor has a plate-shaped element, which defines a plane, whose axis extends parallel to the axis of at least one of the metal sleeves, wherein the plane is spaced from the sensor platform in the axial direction of the metal sleeve. The metal sleeve with the heated sensor element has a terminal end face and the plate-shaped element is provided along the end face of the metal sleeve with the heated sensor element for flow guidance.

Sensor and flow measuring device

Thermal flow measuring device and method for the manufacture of a thermal flow measuring device with a spacer having a first cavity for accommodating a resistance thermometer, wherein the spacer has at least a first planar area, which faces the first cavity, and a second cavity, through which the resistance thermometer can be pressed by means of a hold-down onto the first planar area of the spacer.
