Abstract
A sensor module serves for registering a flow velocity and/or a volume flow rate, of a fluid flowing in a pipeline. The sensor module comprises a platform (PS) having, extending therein from an inlet opening to a drain opening remote therefrom and communicating with the lumen of the pipeline, a flow path for guiding a fluid volume portion branched from the fluid flowing in the pipeline and a transducer element for producing at least one sensor signal influenced by the fluid guided in the flow path. The flow path is additionally so embodied that an imaginary central axis (LB) of the intermediate region is not parallel to an imaginary central axis of the intake region and/or not parallel to an imaginary central axis of the drain region.
