Abstract
The invention relates to a fluid meter () having a measuring tube housing (), a measuring zone () inside the measuring tube housing (), an ultrasonic transducer configuration of at least one ultrasonic transducer (and/or) for generating an ultrasonic signal and/or converting an ultrasonic signal passing through the measuring zone () into an electric signal and a deflecting device () for deflecting the ultrasonic signal in particular in the longitudinal direction of the measuring tube () such that the surface normal N of the ultrasonic transducer (and/or) is arranged so it is inclined laterally based on the top position of the fluid-filled interior of the measuring tube housing () in the installed position with the plane E such that the ultrasonic signal does not strike the deflecting device () from above in the installed position of the fluid meter ().
