Abstract:
An ultrasonic flowmeter includes a measurement pipe through which a fluid flows, and two ultrasonic transceivers provided on outer side portions of the measurement pipe so as to be spaced apart from each other in an axis direction. In the method of producing the ultrasonic flowmeter, fabricating the measurement pipe in advance is fabricated, and then is set in a mold as an insert. Two transmitting bodies are formed by insert molding on the outer side portions of the measurement pipe so as to be spaced apart from each other in the axis direction, so that the two transmitting bodies are integral with the measurement pipe. The two ultrasonic transceivers are mounted on the two transmitting bodies, respectively.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of producing an ultrasonic flowmeter, said ultrasonic flowmeter comprising\n a measurement pipe configured for a fluid to flow through, said measurement pipe having outer side portions spaced apart from each other in an axis direction of the measurement pipe; and two ultrasonic transceivers provided on the outer side portions of the measurement pipe, said method comprising: forming said measurement pipe of fluorine resin by extrusion molding in advance; setting said measurement pipe in a mold as an insert; forming two transmitting bodies of the same material as said measurement pipe by insert molding on the outer side portions of said measurement pipe so as to be spaced apart from each other in the axis direction of said measurement pipe, so that said two transmitting bodies are integral with said measurement pipe, said two transmitting bodies surrounding a circumference of said measurement pipe; and mounting said two ultrasonic transceivers on said two transmitting bodies, respectively.
