An ultrasonic sensor assembly is provided having sensor body having opposing open ends for enabling fluid flow therethrough. The body defines an interior measurement section therein. The body defines a plurality of spiral flow paths disposed about a longitudinal axis of the measurement section. The sensor assembly includes a pair of ultrasonic transceivers mounted to the tubular body in spaced longitudinal relationship across the measurement section. An electronics housing mounted to the body in a separable manner, when mounted, the electronics housing is in operable communication with the pair of ultrasonic transceivers to measure fluid parameters within the measurement section.

Ultrasonic sensor assembly and method of manufacture

A fluid-flow sensor assembly is provided, comprising a body defining a measuring region for fluid flowing therethrough. A rigid structure is defined about the body to restrict size variation of the body during use. As a result, the rigid structure keeps the measuring section from altering in size, thus ensuring accurate measurement. In an exemplary embodiment, the body defines a ridge assembly that circumscribes the outer wall of the body, and a spiral wrap formed of rigid material is wrapped around the body.
