Abstract:
Provided is a thermal flow rate meter capable of individually correcting different pulsation errors generated in an upstream side temperature sensor and a downstream side temperature sensor. A thermal flow rate meter 1 which measures a flow rate of a gas based on a temperature difference between an upstream side temperature sensor 12 and a downstream side temperature sensor 13, which are arranged on the upstream side and the downstream side of a heating element 11. The thermal flow rate meter includes: a detection element 10 that individually outputs an output signal of the upstream side temperature sensor 12 and an output signal of the downstream side temperature sensor 13; and compensator 20 that individually performs response compensation of the output signal of the upstream side temperature sensor 12 and the output signal of the downstream side temperature sensor 13.
