ABSTRACT:
A body for a flow meter for measuring the flow velocity and/or the volumetric through-flow of fluids. The flow meter body has a tubular center piece with connecting flanges for connection to a pipeline for fluids. On its exterior, the center piece has at least two substantially flat mounting surfaces (18, 20, 22, 24), each of which has at least one receptacle (32, 34; 38, 40, 42, 44) for mounting a probe (35). To enable the use of linearly emitting ultrasound probes in such flow meters, and to use the flow meter as a substitute for prior art flow meters without significant effort and cost, it is proposed to arrange the mounting surfaces (18and20; 22and24) diametrically opposite each other as a mounting surface pair (18-20; 22-24) so that the probes (35) in the opposing mounting surfaces (18and20; 22and24) define a measuring path (36, 46, 48). The mounting surfaces (18and20; 22and24) are parallel to each other and at an angle to a longitudinal axis (26) of center piece (12).
