[0006] Preferably, the oblique angle and position design of the oblique hole make the transmission and reception paths of the two ultrasonic transducers form an effective measurement flow channel section inside the flowmeter pipe.
[0007] Preferably, the flowmeter pipe adopts a sealed design to ensure that the fluid medium does not leak through the oblique hole, and the ultrasonic transducer is fixed in the oblique hole through a sealing device to maintain the overall sealing of the flowmeter.
