Abstract: The physical quantity measurement device includes a secondary flow path disposed outside a multilayer unit and configured to connect an upstream opening to a downstream opening. The secondary flow path is disposed gravitationally below a primary flow path. Ultrasonic transceivers are disposed to project into a flow in the multilayer unit. In the thus-configured physical quantity measurement device, the entry of water droplets into an ultrasonic propagation path and the adhesion of water droplets to the ultrasonic transceivers are substantially prevented, so that, even when the fluid flowing in contains water droplets, the physical quantity measurement device can measure the flow rate of the fluid and the concentration of components contained in the fluid.

Abstract: A physical quantity measurement device is provided which is capable of measuring a component in a fluid to be measured even when the fluid contains droplets such as fine water droplets. The physical quantity measurement device includes, at an inlet opening (5) of a sub-channel (7), an inflow direction regulator (13) which includes guide pieces (12) each of which is inclined at predetermined angle ? with respect to the flow direction in a main channel (1). The angle ? of inflow direction regulator (13) is set to a value that is greater than 90 degrees in relation to the flow direction of the main channel (1).

Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ultrasonic transceiver capable of stably measuring a fluid of high temperature and high humidity for a long period, and provides an ultrasonic flowmeter, an ultrasonic flow velocimeter, and an ultrasonic densitometer each including the ultrasonic transceiver. An ultrasonic transceiver (1) comprises a piezoelectric body (3) and an acoustic matching body (2) disposed in one face of the piezoelectric body (3), wherein the acoustic matching body (2) includes: a top plate, a bottom plate, and a side wall that define a closed space; and a perpendicular partition wall formed substantially perpendicular to the bottom plate and adhering to the top plate and the bottom plate, thereby dividing a closed space.

Abstract: An ultrasonic flowmeter includes: a flow path body having a flow path through which a fluid to be measured flows; a pair of ultrasonic transducers disposed in the flow path body; a substrate fixed to the flow path body; a sensor plate on which a temperature sensor for detecting a temperature of the fluid to be measured is disposed, the sensor plate being flat; and an arithmetic unit that calculates a flow rate of the fluid to be measured from a propagation time of ultrasonic waves between the pair of ultrasonic transducers and the temperature detected by the temperature sensor. The sensor plate is configured to project from the substrate and to project into a flow path cross-section of the flow path from a sensor hole provided in the flow path body at a time of fixing the substrate to the flow path body.

Abstract: An ultrasonic transceiver includes: a piezoelectric body including opposing surfaces having a first electrode and a second electrode respectively, piezoelectric body being segmented into a plurality of elements by a groove recessed from a surface having first electrode among the opposing surfaces; conductor electrically connected to first electrode on each of elements.
