Abstract

A measuring device with a fluid module is proposed, which comprises a measuring tube through which a fluid can flow and at least one acoustic measuring unit. The at least one acoustic measuring unit comprises at least one transmitter, at least one receiver as well as at least one waveguide. The measuring tube has at least one measuring section with a substantially angular internal cross section and at least one connecting section with a non-angular internal cross section, wherein the measuring tube has at least one transition section, which extends between the measuring section and the connecting section. The transition section has an internal cross section identical to the internal cross section of the measuring section at an end allocated to the measuring section and further an internal cross section identical to the internal cross section of the connecting section at an end allocated to the connecting section. Furthermore, a fluidic system is described.
