Abstract

A measuring tube, a measuring system and a method for determining and/or monitoring flow through a measuring tube, comprising a measuring tube, on which ultrasonic transducers are releasably placeable. The ultrasonic transducers transmit and/or receive ultrasonic signals, which pass through the measuring tube approximately coaxially to the measuring tube axis. A connecting line between the centers of the ultrasonic transducers situated at an angle relative to the measuring tube axis and extends on a side of the measuring tube axis, on which the measuring tube outlet is located.
