Abstract:
1. A measuring system for determining and/or monitoring flow of a measured medium through a measuring tube, comprising: a sensor holder which is securable on the measuring tube and includes a securement mechanism for releasable securement of a sensor housing on said sensor holder; at least one control/evaluation unit, which, based on ultrasonic measurement signals, or based on measurement data derived from the ultrasonic measurement signals, ascertains volume, and/or mass flow of the measured medium flowing in the measuring tube; a first ultrasonic sensor; and at least a second ultrasonic sensor, wherein; said sensor housing surrounds said first and second ultrasonic sensors; at least said first ultrasonic sensor is seated shiftably in said sensor housing; said sensor housing forms with said ultrasonic sensors a unit securable on said sensor holder and releasable from said sensor holder; and said sensor holder is in the form of a sheet metal securement with a prismatic cavity on a side facing the measuring tube for orientation of said sensor holder on the measuring tube and has a centrally arranged window and thereon attached lugs for accommodating and orienting said sensor housing on the measuring tube.
