FIELD: measurement equipment.
SUBSTANCE: converter unit of an ultrasonic flow meter is proposed. At least some of explanatory examples of implementation represent systems containing the following: a branch pipe that forms an outer surface, a central passage and a mounting seat of converters, which passes from the outer surface to the central passage; and a converter unit connected to the mounting seat of the converters. The converter unit includes the following: a transition element connected to the branch pipe; with that, the transition element has the first end arranged in the mounting seat of the converters, and the second end located on the outside of the outer surface, a piezoelectric module with a piezoelectric element; with that, the piezoelectric module is connected directly to the first end of the transition element and arranged in the outer surface; a transformer module with a transformer arranged in it; with that, the transformer module is directly connected to the second end of the transition element and arranged on the outside of the outer surface; and an electrical conductor arranged in the passage by means of the transition element and attaching the transformer to the piezoelectric element.
EFFECT: improving reliability of ultrasonic flow meters; reducing the time for detection of failure and repair.
