Abstract
A physical quantity measurement device includes a passage flow channel having an inflow port and an outflow port, a branch flow channel branched from the passage flow channel and having a branch inlet into which the fluid flows from the passage flow channel. The branch flow channel has an inclined branch path inclined with respect to the passage flow channel, and the inclined branch path extends from the branch inlet toward the outflow por. An inclination angle of the branch flow channel at the branch inlet with respect to a virtual straight line connecting the inflow port and the outflow port is smaller than or equal to a predetermined value.
