Abstract

Devices for determining at least one parameter of a flowing medium having an inner pipe according to the related art have the disadvantage that whirls are formed, which causes increased signal noise at the measuring element and pressure drop. A device (1) is described which has an element (11) that reduces the whirl formation in the flowing medium.
