    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing an ultrasonic transducer by exciting the sound wave via an electromechanical transducer disposed on a sensor body, determining a current propagation velocity of the sound wave on an exit surface of the sensor body, determining the difference between the current propagation velocity and the desired propagation velocity of the sound wave on the exit surface, determining difference between speed of sound in the sensor body and a desired speed of sound, removing material in the region of the exit surface of the sensor body, wherein the remaining material is dimensioned such that the current propagation speed of the sound wave on the exit surface of the sensor body, and/or the delay caused by the speed of sound in the sensor body, at least approximately agrees with the desired propagation speed of the sound wave on the exit surface.

    Abstract: A sensor of a thermal flow measuring device, as well as the flow measuring device itself. The sensor comprises a sensor platform, which bears at least one measuring sensor element and a heated sensor element. Each of the at least two sensor elements is surrounded by a metal sleeve, which protrudes from the sensor platform. The sensor has a plate-shaped element, which defines a plane, whose axis extends parallel to the axis of at least one of the metal sleeves, wherein the plane is spaced from the sensor platform in the axial direction of the metal sleeve. The metal sleeve with the heated sensor element has a terminal end face and the plate-shaped element is provided along the end face of the metal sleeve with the heated sensor element for flow guidance.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an ultrasound transducer having at least one transducer element for sending or receiving ultrasound signals. The ultrasound transducer includes a matching element acoustically coupled to the transducer element that is designed to ensure acoustic matching between the transducer element and a medium that acts on the matching element. In a first subregion of the axial extent, the matching element partially fills each cross section of the matching element, and a filling component in the first subregion along the first longitudinal axis monotonically increases in the direction of the first side. The matching element has a plurality of ring elements in the first subregion arranged concentrically around the first longitudinal axis. Each ring element partially fills each cross section in the first subregion, wherein the first subregion comprises at least 80% of an axial extent of the matching element along the first longitudinal axis.
