Claim:
1. A flow measuring device comprising: a measuring tube; and an apparatus for ascertaining flow velocity and/or volume flow of a medium in the measuring tube, wherein: the flow measuring device includes a fill level monitoring system, comprising: at least one electrode for monitoring the fill level of a medium flowing in a pipe or tube, and at least one electrode has an integrated temperature sensor; and an evaluation unit, which is embodied for monitoring the degree of filling of the tube and transmits a warning signal when the degree of filling subceeds a limit value, especially a degree of filling of less than 55% of the tube diameter, which fill level monitoring system includes at least one electrode with an integrated temperature sensor, which electrode is arranged in the measuring tube or in a process connection connected to the measuring tube, which electrode is especially embodied for determining temperature and fill level of the medium in the measuring tube; the fill level monitoring system includes an evaluation unit for monitoring the degree of filling of the measuring tube and which evaluation unit transmits a warning signal when the degree of filling subceeds a limit value, especially a degree of filling of less than 55% of the tube diameter.
