For flow meter applications, we mostly used off the shelf complete flow meter sensors to interface to TDC1000. A list of ultrasonic flow meter sensor manufacturers is listed in Appendix A1 of the SNIA020 and SNAA284 app notes.

It looks like FBWFM-010-1.0MHz is a gas transducer. Are you using 2 transducers in pitch/catch mode or 1 transducer and you are looking for echo from some object? If you are just using it on the bench, note air is very absorptive of ultrasonic energy and it needs much higher power to get back any echo.
