Abstract:
An Ultrasonic flowmeter for measuring the flow of a medium through a measuring tube (3) with at least two ultrasonic transducers (4,5) and at least one control and evaluation unit (6). The measuring tube (3) has an inner wall, the ultrasonic transducers (4, 5) are transmitters (4,5) for transmitting an ultrasonic signal (7) and/or are receivers (4, 5) for receiving the ultrasonic signal, and are arranged offset in the direction of flow such that the respective transmitter (4, 5) transmits an ultrasonic signal (7) in the direction of flow or against the direction of flow during operation. The receiver (4, 5) receives the ultrasonic signal (7) transmitted by the transmitter (4, 5) after at least one reflection on the inner wall of the measuring tube (3), the ultrasonic signal (7) having a first signal component (8) and at least a second signal component (9).
