Abstract
An ultrasonic flowmeter for flowing media, has a measuring tube and at least one ultrasonic transducer, the ultrasonic transducer being installed in contact with the flowing medium in a transducer pocket of the measuring tube. The flowmeter eliminates the disadvantages and problems present in the known ultrasonic flowmeters, caused by eddies generated by the transducer pocket, by providing the transducer pocket with a grid having a mesh, in which the grid is located at the entrance side of the transducer pocket.
