Abstract

A magnetoinductive flowmeter includes a measuring tube, a magnetic field device serving to generate and guide a magnetic field at least part of which permeates the measuring tube, and two electrodes for collecting a voltage induced in a medium as it flows through the measuring tube. The electrodes are so positioned, without connection to the magnetic field device, that their longitudinal axes extend at an angle diverging from zero relative to the direction of the voltage induction. In this uncomplicated fashion, a large effective electrode surface is made available for collecting the voltage induced in the medium. A method for producing the flowmeter is also described.
