Abstract
A flowmeter body assembly includes a flowmeter body, a fluid passage, and multiple angled connectors. The fluid passage extends through the flowmeter body. The angled connectors extend from a sidewall of the flowmeter body. The flowmeter body and the angled connectors form a one-piece structure formed by an additive manufacturing process. Each of the angled connectors is configured to support a respective sensor to enable measurement of a flow rate of a fluid across at least one chordal plane of the flowmeter body.
