A compact assembly for accurately measuring the air flow in an air intake duct of an internal combustion engine that is easy to manufacture and maintain. The assembly includes a housing with an inlet opening, an outlet opening, a channel with an inner wall defining a predetermined cross-sectional area and a closure member that is movably mounted in the channel between a closed and opened position. A first annular chamber is situated upstream from the closure member and a second annular chamber is placed downstream of the closure member. Each chamber has an inner chamber wall with a number of apertures that are in fluid communication with the channel. A first pressure sensor is connected to the first chamber for measuring a pressure, and a second pressure sensor is connected to the first chamber and the second chamber for measuring a difference in pressure.
