Abstract: A fluid meter has a housing comprising a flow channel for fluid to be measured and at least one elongate module-receiving opening forming a passage from an outer surface of the housing to the flow channel. At least one fluid-measuring module, prefabricated separately, from the housing with a base section formed as a waveguide for surface acoustic waves, and at least one signal transformer to excite surface acoustic waves in the waveguide and/or receive surface acoustic waves from the waveguide is provided. When inserted into the module-receiving opening, the base section of the fluid-measuring module forms part of the flow channel inner wall and contacts fluid flowing through it. Surface acoustic waves emitted by the signal transformer can be coupled out of the waveguide and can propagate through fluid in the flow channel as bulk acoustic waves and/or bulk acoustic waves can be coupled into the waveguide and received by the signal transformer.

Abstract: A film transducer has a holding part and an electroactive multilayer composite structure including at least two deformable carriers which are each coated on at least one side with a planar electrode. The multilayer composite structure has an elongated basic shape and being clamped on its shorter sides in a fixing section in the holding part while its longer sides are free, the electrodes of the multilayer composite structure being alternately connected at the ends clamped in the holding part to a contact element which is arranged in the fixing section.
