Abstract:
An ultrasound flow measurement apparatus is provided having a plurality of ultrasonic transducers for determining the flow rate of a fluid flowing in a line, said ultrasound flow measurement apparatus having a plurality of measurement paths at which two respective ones of the ultrasonic transducers are arranged opposite one another with the flow being arranged therebetween and with a mutual axial spacing in the longitudinal direction of the line and having an evaluation unit that is configured to calculate the flow rate from time of flight differences of ultrasonic signals along the respective measurement paths in the direction with the flow and against the flow. The measurement paths have different axial offsets here.
