Abstract
Abstract A leak indicating device for a magnetic centrifugal pump having a separating pot which seals against the pumped medium and which comprises two separating pots with collars inserted one within another. The device contains a ring which is clamped between the collars of the two separating pots. The ring has a radial bore which connects the space between the separating pots to an indicator.
