Abstract
A liquid velocity meter for mounting in pipe, which comprises a turbulence-forming sensor housing arranged transversely in the pipe and where the turbulence-forming sensor housing has a triangular cross-section. The turbulence-forming sensor housing has a front surface facing the stream and two equal side surfaces with a top edge aligned with the stream and a sensor flag which extends in a direction of the stream out from the top edge, and with a root part mounted in a top part of the turbulence-forming sensor housing, where the sensor flag has two piezoelectric elements laminated on an elastic, electrically insulating layer.
