There is provided a thermal-type airflow meter that reduces the number of output signals of the sensor circuit and that can suppress the accuracy of flow rate detection from being deteriorated because due to a nonlinear sensor output characteristic and a response delay in the output signal, the output signal shifts toward the positive side or the negative side. A thermal-type airflow meter outputs one or both of a positive-side comparison signal that is at the positive side of a comparison threshold value and a negative-side comparison signal that is at the negative side of the comparison threshold value, outputs a coefficient multiplication signal obtained by multiplying an average signal acquired by averaging the comparison signal by an adjustment coefficient, and outputs, as a flow rate signal, a value obtained by applying the coefficient multiplication signal to increase correction or decrease correction of the amplitude increase signal.

The present disclosure provides an air flow rate measuring including a casing and a sensor. The casing includes a main-bypass passage that defines an inlet and an outlet, a sub-bypass passage that branches off from the main-bypass passage at a branching area, and a guiding wall that changes, at a position upstream of the branching area, a flow direction of the passing air taken in from the inlet. The inlet and the guiding wall are arranged in an arranging direction along a flow direction of the intake air in the duct. The guiding wall includes an inlet side surface that faces the inlet and is not perpendicular to the arranging direction.

A flow meter for measuring a flow rate of a fluid may include a cartridge containing certain components such as a flow sensor. The cartridge is removable from the flow meter such that it may be replaced with a new cartridge, allowing calibration of the flow meter while enabling the flow meter to continue to be operated with another cartridge in the place of the removed cartridge. The flow meter may be configured to direct fluid flow away from selected components of the flow meter.

A flow metering method for an annular gas and liquid flow comprises the following steps of: first, enabling a gas and liquid mixed fluid to flow through a vertically arranged circular pipe so as to form the annular gas and liquid flow; and then measuring total flow or liquid average velocity or gas average velocity of the gas and liquid mixed fluid; measuring physical quantities, such as temperature, pressure, gas fraction and the like, of the gas and liquid mixed fluid; and finally, accurately figuring out liquid volume flow and gas volume flow according to analysis of a gas and liquid slip factor.

A method is for determining a gas amount, which can be dispensed by a dispensing device, in particular in the form of a hydrogen gas amount, by a gas meter (36). A part of the main gas stream flowing to the dispensing device (26) is branched off by a flow divider (20) mounted upstream of the dispensing device (26), when viewed in the direction of the gas stream, for a quantitative measurement in the secondary flow by the gas meter (36).
