Abstract: A sonic- or ultrasonic flowmeter (200), is provided that comprises a body (202) configured to be connected to a pipeline. A first connector (204) is located on a first end (206) of the body (202) and a second connector (208) is located on a second end (210) of the body (202). Meter electronics (220) is configured to interface with sensors (235) and to indicate the degree of fluid flow through the pipeline to which the flowmeter (200) is connected based on signals received from the sensors (235). The meter electronics (220) comprises an acquisition section (224) and an interface section (222). An acquisition module (234) of the acquisition section (224) is configured to communicate with the sensors (235). An attachment region (237) is defined by the body, with the acquisition section (224) being attached thereto. An enclosure form (236) is sealedly attached to the body (202) that circumscribes the acquisition module (234).

Abstract: An ultrasonic flow meter for measuring the flow of a fluid includes a transducer assembly having an adjustable length. The transducer assembly is positioned in a transducer port in the meter body and includes a piezoelectric capsule axially positioned adjacent a first end of the transducer assembly. The piezoelectric capsule includes a transformer, a piezoelectric element axially spaced from the transformer, and axially-extendable wireway. A conductor extends through the extendable wireway and electrically couples the piezoelectric element with the transformer.
