ABSTRACT:
An ultrasonic flow rate meter and a method for measuring the flow rate with the aid of ultrasound are described, having at least two ultrasonic transducers situated offset in a flow channel in the flow direction for transmitting and receiving ultrasound wave packets, so that ultrasound propagation times from one of the ultrasonic transducers to the other, and vice-versa, can be determined in an electronic part, and having a pressure sensor associated with the flow channel for determining the pressure in the flow channel. Measured values for an engine control that is as accurate as possible are determinable by accurately detecting the incoming air in the intake of a motor vehicle internal combustion engine.
