Abstract
A flow sensor includes a conduit and an ultrasonic transceiver. The conduit has an inner surface and an outer surface. The inner surface defines a flow passage through which a fluid may flow in a flow direction. The ultrasonic transceiver is coupled to, and surrounds a portion of, the outer surface of the conduit. The ultrasonic transceiver is configured to transmit ultrasonic waves into the fluid that propagate in a direction that is parallel to the flow direction, receive ultrasonic waves, and supply sensor signals representative of the received ultrasonic waves.
