Holding part and coriolis mass flowmeter having a holding part
View Patent ↗A holding part is provided for connecting two pipes running parallel to each other, such as the two parallel measuring pipes of a Coriolis mass flowmeter, at a defined spacing. The holding part includes a first holding ring with a first holding opening for a first pipe, a second holding ring with a second holding opening for a second pipe, and a holding web firmly connecting the two holding rings and defining the spacing between the two holding rings. The holding part also includes a first slot running radially and having a first slot width in the first holding ring, a second slot running radially and having a second slot width in the second holding ring, and a slot width changing device, by actuation of which the first and the second slot width and therefore the diameter of the first and second holding opening can be changed simultaneously.
1. A holding part for connecting two pipes running parallel to each other at a defined spacing, the holding part comprising:
a first holding ring having a first holding opening for a first pipe;
a second holding ring having a second holding opening for a second pipe;
a holding web firmly connecting the first and second holding rings and defining the spacing between the first and second holding rings;
a first slot running radially and having a first slot width in the first holding ring;
a second slot running radially and having a second slot width in the second holding ring;
a slot width changing device configured to be actuated to simultaneously change the first and second slot widths and thereby change respective diameters of the first and second holding openings simultaneously,
wherein the two pipes are parallel measuring pipes of a Coriolis mass flowmeter.
2. The holding part according to claim 1 , wherein the first and second holding rings and the holding web are arranged in a holding plane, and the first and second holding rings are located opposite each other in relation to the holding web.
3. The holding part according to claim 2 , wherein an imaginary plane of symmetry of the holding web runs at right angles to the holding plane, the first and the second slots being arranged symmetrically in relation to the plane of symmetry.
4. The holding part according to claim 3 , wherein the slot width changing device comprises a plastically deformable clamping web.
5. A holding device comprising:
two holding parts according to claim 1 , which, in a direction of a longitudinal extent of the pipes, are spaced apart parallel to each other and connected to each other by a connecting web.
6. A holding device comprising:
two holding parts according to claim 2 , which, in a direction of a longitudinal extent of the pipes, are spaced apart parallel to each other and connected to each other by a connecting web.
7. A holding device comprising:
two holding parts according to claim 3 , which, in a direction of a longitudinal extent of the pipes, are spaced apart parallel to each other and connected to each other by a connecting web.
8. A holding device comprising:
two holding parts according to claim 4 , which, in a direction of a longitudinal extent of the pipes, are spaced apart parallel to each other and connected to each other by a connecting web.
