Abstract
A multifunctional sensor has the a process connection housing with a process-side opening, pressure measurement cell with a measurement membrane arranged in the process connection housing, which closes the opening in the process connection housing and which has strain measurement resistors on its side facing away from the process, where a magnet assembly is arranged in the process connection housing, the magnetic field of which is concentrated on a central region of the measurement membrane and penetrates through this into the process, electrodes lying diametrically opposite one another are formed outside the central region on the side of the measurement membrane facing the process, and where the process connection housing contains electronic measuring equipment which is formed to interact with the strain measurement resistors and the electrodes for pressure measurement and magnetic-inductive flow measurement.
