Abstract
A magnetic flowmeter which includes a spool formed by a metallizable ceramic through which the fluid to be metered is conducted. The outer surface of the spool is metallized in its central region to define a pair of metering electrodes at diametrically-opposed positions, an electromagnetic field being established within the spool whereby when the flowing fluid intercepts this field, an emf is induced therein to produce a signal at the metering electrodes which is a function of flow rate. Overlying each metering electrode and projecting from the spool is a ceramic block whose outer surface is metallized to define a shield electrode which covers the metering electrode.
