  • Patent number: 10520343
    Abstract: The present invention provides a thermal flowmeter having good measurement accuracy by reducing deviation in the flow velocity distribution of a gas under measurement flowing through an auxiliary passage. An auxiliary passage 330 for taking in a portion of a gas under measurement IA flowing through a main passage 124 has a curved passage 32a that bends toward a flowrate measurement element 602. The curved passage 32a has a resistance portion 50 formed therein that applies resistance to the flow of the gas under measurement IA flowing through the outer peripheral side CO of the curved passage 32a so that the pressure loss of the gas under measurement IA flowing through the outer peripheral side CO is high compared to that of the gas flowing through the inner peripheral side CI of the curved passage 32a.
