Patent ID: 8875587

Claim:
A measuring system for determining and/or monitoring flow of a measured medium through a measuring tube, comprising: a first, essentially disc shaped, electromechanical transducer element having a center; at least one additional, essentially disc shaped, second electromechanical transducer element having a center; and a measuring tube having a measuring tube axis, a measuring tube inlet and a measuring tube outlet, wherein: said measuring tube inlet has a measuring tube inlet axis forming with the measuring tube axis an angle α, wherein α is between 30 and 60 degrees; said measuring tube outlet has a measuring tube outlet axis forming with the measuring tube axis an angle β not equal to 90°; said electromechanical transducer elements lie essentially planparallelly opposite one another and can, in each case, be acoustically coupled with said measuring tube; and a connecting line between the centers of said first and second electromechanical transducer elements is situated at an angle γ relative to the measuring tube axis and extends on a side of the measuring tube axis, on which said measuring tube outlet is located; wherein the electromechanical transducer elements are acoustically coupled on transducer seats and wherein said transducer seats are integrated in the measuring tube and have terminal coupling surfaces so that said transducer seat conducts the ultrasonic signals to the measured medium.
