ABSTRACT:
In ultrasound flow rate meters, an acoustical short circuit between ultrasonic transducers is a special problem. Such a short circuit results in an ultrasonic signal being propagated through a wall of a measuring tube from a sending to a receiving transducer and not being influenced by a medium in the measuring tube. Sealing off a gas path around the ultrasonic transducers is also problematic. In order to solve the problem, the ultrasonic transducers are sheathed with an elastomer molded body. From 25% to 60% of an outer surface of the ultrasonic transducer, which is constructed as a cup-type transducer, is lined with the elastomer molded body, beginning at a cup edge thereof. Contact of the holder with the ultrasonic transducer is minimal and occurs only in an acoustically quiet zone.
