Patent ID: 8904878

Claim:
A measuring system for determining and/or monitoring flow of a measured medium through a measuring tube, comprising: a measuring tube; a first ultrasonic transducer; at least one additional, second ultrasonic transducer, wherein: said measuring tube has a measuring tube inlet, a measuring tube outlet, a first ultrasonic transducer seat; and at least one other, second ultrasonic transducer seat; said first ultrasonic transducer is acoustically coupleable releasably with said first ultrasonic transducer seat of said measuring tube; said second ultrasonic transducer is acoustically coupleable releasably with said second ultrasonic transducer seat of said measuring tube; at least one said ultrasonic transducer, has at least one latch, which latch can be switched between positions and is so embodied that said latch is engageable in at least one raised portion or depression portion arranged on said measuring tube; said at least one of said ultrasonic transducer is releasably mountable on said measuring tube and is acoustically coupleable with said ultrasonic transducer seat of said measuring tube; said at least one said ultrasonic transducer has at least a first guide element for guiding said at least one of said ultrasonic transducers on a base plate; said base plate has at least a second guide element fitting said first guide element of said at least one said ultrasonic transducer for guiding said at least one of said ultrasonic transducers on said base plate; and said first guide element and said second guide element are mating parts of a linear guide.
