Abstract
A flowmeter for measuring the flow rate of a fluid has a measuring tube which forms a measurement space through which the fluid can flow. At least one disruptive body is arranged in the measurement space. The measurement space additionally has, downstream of the disruptive body, a pickup arranged in it that can be deflected based on a vortex formation at the disruptive body. In order to minimize the flow resistance for the fluid when flowing through the flowmeter, the measuring tube has an elliptical cross-section at least in the region of the arrangement of the disruptive body.
