Abstract:
1. A measuring system for determining and/or monitoring flow of a measured medium through a measuring tube, comprising: at least one ultrasonic transducer; and at least one control/evaluation unit, which, on the basis of measurement signals or on the basis of measurement data derived from the measurement signals, ascertains volume- and/or mass-flow of the medium flowing in said measuring tube, wherein: said ultrasonic transducer has at least one electromechanical transducer element, which sends and/or receives ultrasonic signals; and at least one coupling layer in a region between said electromechanical transducer element and the medium, which coupling layer conducts the ultrasonic signals; said ultrasonic transducer is acoustically coupleable with said measuring tube and said ultrasonic transducer is embodied in such a manner that it is fittable to the shape of the inner, and/or outer, wall of said measuring tube.
