  • Flow conditioner
    Patent number: 9829016
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flow conditioner for conditioning a fluid flow comprising a pipe having a constriction with a reduced pipe cross-section, at least one ring-shaped element arranged inside the pipe which has an outer diameter which is smaller than the inner diameter of the pipe in the axial region of the pipe in which the at least one ring-shaped element is arranged, and having an areal web whose surface normal is not in parallel with the pipe axis. The invention further relates to a throughflow measurement system for measuring a fluid throughflow through a pipe having a measurement device and a flow conditioner in accordance with the invention arranged upstream of the measurement device.

  • Ultrasonic measurement apparatus having a deflection unit forming a loop
    Patent number: 8776613
    Abstract: An ultrasonic measurement apparatus (10) for measuring the flow velocity of a fluid is provided which flows in a pipeline in a main flow direction, wherein the ultrasonic measurement apparatus (10) has an ultrasonic measurement zone (36) with at least a pair of ultrasonic transducers (38), an evaluation unit for determining the flow velocity from a propagation time difference of ultrasound transmitted and received with and against the flow, as well as a deflection unit, by means of which the fluid from the main flow direction is deflectable and suppliable to the ultrasonic measurement zone (36). In this respect the deflection unit (20, 26, 32) forms a loop.
