Abstract
A split-flow-type flowmeter includes a detection element 2 disposed to face a flow path thereof and a venturi structure 4 formed within a flow path 1 in the vicinity of the detection element 2 and adapted to throttle a flow directed toward the detection element 2 to thereby reduce disturbance of the flow. The venturi structure 4 is disposed in opposition to the detection element 2 within the flow path 1 and includes a protrusion 5 protruding toward the detection element 2 within the flow path 1 of the split-flow-type flowmeter.
Claims12
