Abstract
An ultrasonic flowmeter includes first and second ultrasonic transducers and a control and evaluation unit connected thereto. The first and/or second ultrasonic transducer is/are an ultrasonic transmitter and/or an ultrasonic receiver. The first and second ultrasonic transducers are arranged on a measuring tube in such a way that a signal path is formed therebetween, and such that a measuring signal emitted by the ultrasonic transmitter runs via the signal path to the ultrasonic receiver. The first and/or second ultrasonic transducer has array of at least two active elements. At least one ultrasonic transducer with an array of at least two active elements is formed as a wedge transducer. At least two active elements of the array arranged on the first ultrasonic transducer, and/or at least two active elements of the array arranged on the second ultrasonic transducer, are separately controllable by the control and evaluation unit.
