Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An ultrasonic flowmeter for measuring the flow of a flowing medium ( 1 ) having a measuring tube ( 2 ) and an ultrasonic transducer ( 3 ), wherein the measuring tube ( 2 ) has a transducer pocket ( 4 ) in which the ultrasonic transducer ( 3 ) is provided in contact with the flowing medium ( 1 ) in the transducer pocket ( 4 ). The ultrasonic transducer ( 3 ) has a transducer housing ( 5 ) and a transducer element ( 6 ) and wherein the transducer housing ( 5 ) has an ultrasound window ( 8 ). The ultrasonic flowmeter solves problems resulting from vortices generated by the transducer pocket via the provision of a cylindrical shielding on the transducer housing ( 5 ).
