Abstract

A measuring transducer of a flow measuring device for measuring the flow of a medium through an existing pipeline system, wherein, in a cost-favorable manner, an equalization of potential between medium and measuring transducer is effected. The measuring transducer includes a measuring transducer housing, a measuring tube integrated in the measuring transducer, two process connections of an insulating material, via which the measuring tube is connectable to the pipeline system, and, placed in one of the process connections, at least one electrode, which is exposed in an inner space of the process connection, through which medium flows during operation. The electrode is connected with the measuring transducer housing via an electrically conductive connection.
