Abstract :
The theoretical preconditions for creation of a new acoustic component current meter with wide direction diagram and minimum influence of constructive elements on measurement results are considered. The influence of technological errors on opportunities to transmit the hydroacoustic signals in the sensor are analysed. The data about practical realizations of acoustic component current meter and results of it metrological researches is given
