A socket structure for mounting an ultrasonic gas flow measuring device with respect to a gas flow pipe which is capable of effectively preventing condensed moisture from being collected in a gap between a socket and a probe head received in the socket. The socket structure includes a pair of sockets each provided at a gas flow pipe to receive therein a probe head in such a manner that a gap may be defined between the socket and the probe head, and a moisture collection preventing construction provided at each of the sockets. The moisture collection preventing construction serves to prevent condensed moisture from being collected in the gap to form a bridge between the socket and the probe head and may be formed by a plurality of grooves formed on an inner surface of the socket which surrounds the probe head, thus allowing condensed moisture collected in the gap to escape therethrough to the gas flow pipe. Alternatively, it may be constructed by a gap which is defined to have a dimension sufficient enough to prevent condensed moisture from being collected therein to form a bridge between the socket and the probe head.
