Abstract:
A method and corresponding device are provided for determining a flow speed in a fluid conduit. The fluid conduit is provided with first, second and third ultrasonic transducers, wherein respective connection lines between transducers extend outside of a symmetry axis of the fluid conduit. First and second measuring signals are applied to the first ultrasonic transducer and received at the second and the third ultrasonic transducer, respectively. The measuring signals comprise a respective reversed signal portion with respect to time of a response signal. Respective first and second response signals are measured and the flow speed is derived from at least one of the first and second response signals.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for determining whether a test device is measuring a flow speed of a fluid in a fluid conduit according to  claim 1 , comprising:\n providing the fluid conduit with a fluid that has a pre-determined velocity with respect to the fluid conduit, providing the fluid conduit with a first ultrasonic transducer and a second ultrasonic transducer, applying a first test arbitrary waveform generator signal to the first ultrasonic transducer of the test device, receiving a first test response signal of the first test arbitrary waveform generator signal at the second ultrasonic transducer of the test device, deriving a first test measuring signal from the first test response signal the derivation of the first test measuring signal comprising reversing the first test response signal, or a portion thereof with respect to time, comparing the first test measuring signal with a first measuring signal that is emitted at a transducer of the test device,\n wherein it is determined that the test device is using a method to determine a flow speed of a fluid in a fluid conduit according to  claim 1 , if the first test measuring signal and the first measuring signal are similar.
