Abstract: The invention provides an ultrasonic flow velocity meter that can measure the flow velocity of a fluid over a wide range of degree of contamination with high degree of accuracy. The ultrasonic flow velocity meter includes a mounting base to be fixed to the outside of a conduit line in which the fluid to be measured flows, the mounting base having a mounting surface formed obliquely with respect to a longitudinal axis of the conduit line, a sending transducer fixed to the mounting base for emitting an ultrasonic wave to the interior of the fluid, a receiving transducer fixed to the mounting base and receiving the reflected ultrasonic wave having subjected to Doppler shift and emitted from the interior of the fluid, and a calculating unit for calculating the flow velocity of the fluid from the amount of the Doppler shift of the reflected wave received by the receiving transducer.

Abstract: An ultrasonic flow meter for measuring a flow rate in a flow path is provided having ultrasonic sensors each of which includes a semicircular or substantially circular disk shaped transducer. Such transducers are detachably mountable on an envelope of the flow path. The thickness of the ultrasonic sensors in the direction of the length of the flow path is reduced to improve a detection resolution. A plurality of the ultrasonic sensors are mounted on the flow path while keeping a predetermined distance therebetween in a length direction of the flow path, so that the flow rate can be measured from the difference of propagation times of ultrasonic waves between the ultrasonic sensors.
