Abstract
An ultrasound flow measurement apparatus () for determining the flow rate of a fluid flowing in a line () is provided having at least one measurement path () at which a first ultrasonic transducer () and a second ultrasonic transducer () are arranged opposite one another with the flowing fluid between them, and having an evaluation unit that is configured to calculate the flow rate from a time of flight difference of ultrasonic pulses along the measurement path () in the direction with the flow () and against the flow (). The ultrasonic transducers (-) here are positioned such that a specific part pulse is isolated in time in a received signal of the respective receiving ultrasonic transducer (-), with the part pulse corresponding to a direct sound, a reflected sound, an axially broken fluid sound, or an azimuthally broken fluid sound.
