Abstract
A measuring device has a measuring tube to be traversed by a medium in a throughflow direction as well as a magneto-inductive measuring device and an acoustic measuring device, which each are arranged on the measuring tube. The magneto-inductive measuring device comprises at least one coil that generates a magnetic field extending through the interior of the measuring tube as well as two electrodes arranged on the measuring tube, which can pick up a measurement signal. The acoustic measuring device comprises at least one portion of a wall of the measuring tube that serves as a waveguide for surface acoustic waves and forms a boundary surface to the medium, and at least one transmitter for exciting surface acoustic waves in the waveguide and at least one receiver for receiving surface acoustic waves from the waveguide, which at a distance from each other are acoustically coupled to the waveguide, wherein the distance between transmitter and receiver is chosen such that acoustic waves excited by the transmitter at least sectionally can propagate through the medium. The transmitter and receiver of the acoustic measuring device are arranged in series with respect to the throughflow direction.
