A magnetic flow meter (600) comprises: a first spud end (604) having a first wall thickness; a second spud end (608) having a second wall thickness; a sensing area (612) positioned between the first spud end and the second spud end, and the sensing area has a third wall thickness that is thinner than the first wall thickness and the second wall thickness; electrodes positioned in the sensing area; a register including a battery, a printed circuit board assembly, and a display device; a tube gasket positioned between the register and the sensing area; and a printed circuit board (900) to connect the electrodes to the printed circuit board assembly of the register.
The printed circuit board passes through a slit in the tube gasket and the tube gasket is compressed to hermetically seal the register.
