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 22):
The method of  claim 21 , further comprising\n providing the fluid conduit with a third ultrasonic transducer, applying a test arbitrary waveform generator signal to the first ultrasonic transducer of the test device or to the second ultrasonic transducer of the test device, receiving a second test response signal of the test arbitrary waveform generator signal at the third ultrasonic transducer of the test device, deriving a second test measuring signal from the second test response signal, comparing the second test measuring signal with a second measuring signal that is emitted at a transducer of the test device, 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.
