Abstract

Various embodiments include a flow meter comprising: at least two sensors arranged at a set distance from one another; and a ring-shaped carrier configured to mount the flow meter between two tube segments of a conduit on a flange face of a tube section of the conduit. The at least two sensors are located at a respective free end of an extension extending from the ring-shaped carrier part. The extensions are aligned substantially perpendicularly to a plane defined by the carrier part. The at least two sensors define a signal path. The signal path comprises a component perpendicular to the plane defined by the carrier part.
