Abstract
A measuring arrangement, comprising: a pipe with a pipe axis and an ultrasonic, flow measuring device. The ultrasonic, flow measuring device has a sensor unit, which is fixed in a hole in the pipe, which hole is introduced essentially perpendicularly to the pipe axis into the pipe wall. The sensor unit has a rail or a rod with a longitudinal axis. The rail or the rod bears at least two ultrasonic transducers, which define a signal path, wherein the signal path extends parallel to or on the longitudinal axis of the rail or of the rod, and wherein the signal path is tilted from a perpendicular connecting line between the center point of the hole and the pipe axis. In addition, an ultrasonic, flow measuring device is noted.
