The invention relates to a method and an arrangement for an ultrasound clamp-on flow measurement according to the transit-time method. The problem addressed by the invention is to provide a measurement arrangement for clamp-on flow measurement, which enables measurement using only two pairs of acoustic transducers in both reflection configuration and in X configuration, without requiring the acoustic transducer position to be changed when switching between configurations. For the method according to the invention, at least four acoustic transducers are arranged on a measurement pipe, which are controlled in such a way that the flow measurement is performed consecutively in an alternating manner in the X configuration and in the reflection configuration. For this purpose, two acoustic transducers are connected for each transmission-receiving pair for a flow measurement in X configuration, and/or two acoustic transducers are connected for each transmission-receiving pair for two reflection configurations.
