  • Patent number: 10551230
    Abstract: A measuring system, embodied as a clamp-on, ultrasonic, flow measuring device, comprises a tube, or a pipe, having a lumen surrounded by a tube, or pipe, wall, which tube or pipe is adapted to guide a volume portion of the fluid in its lumen; an ultrasonic transducer mounted on the tube, or pipe, on an outside of the tube, or pipe, wall facing away from the lumen, and acoustically coupled via the tube, or pipe, wall to fluid guided in the lumen, and adapted to convert a time varying electrical voltage into ultrasonic waves propagating through the tube, or pipe, wall and further through fluid guided in the lumen; an ultrasonic transducer mounted on the tube, or pipe, separated from the ultrasonic transducer on the outside of the tube, or pipe, wall, and acoustically coupled via the tube, or pipe, wall to fluid guided in the lumen, and adapted to receive ultrasonic waves propagating through fluid guided in the lumen, and further through the tube, or pipe, wall and to transduce such into an electrical voltage va

  • Patent number: 9200946
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer for an ultrasonic flow measuring device, comprising an electromechanical transducer element, which is prestressed against an ultrasonic window of the ultrasonic transducer by a suitable structure, wherein a first surface of the electromechanical transducer element faces the ultrasonic window, and wherein a second surface of the electromechanical transducer element lying opposite the first surface is divided into a plurality of segments, which are galvanically connected with the suitable structure for prestressing.

  • Patent number: 9175994
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer for an ultrasonic flow measuring device, comprising a first housing part having an ultrasonic window and adjoining, rotationally symmetric walls, wherein there adjoins on the walls of the first housing part, coaxially with the walls of the first housing part, a first ring as resonator, which forms an end of the first housing part.

  • Patent number: 8899116
    Abstract: An ultrasonic transducer for an ultrasonic flow measuring device, comprising a first housing part and a second housing part. The second housing part is axially guided in the first housing part and is so biased relative to the first housing part that, in a first state of the ultrasonic transducer, a first axial stop of the second housing part rests on a first axial stop of the first housing part, wherein, by applying, counter to the bias, a predetermined force on a second axial stop of the second housing part, the second housing part is axially shiftable, so that, in a second state of the ultrasonic transducer, the first axial stop of the second housing part is moved out of the first state.
