ABSTRACT:
An airflow meter has a bypass passage disposed in an air passage and a sensing portion disposed in the bypass passage to detect an airflow amount. The bypass passage is provided with a restriction portion to gradually decrease a passage width of the bypass passage in an airflow direction in the bypass passage. The restriction portion includes a first restriction portion and the second restriction portion disposed at an immediately downstream side of a narrowest portion of the first restriction portion. The first restriction portion gradually decreases the passage width in the airflow direction. The second restriction portion increases the passage width than the passage width at the narrowest portion in a stepped manner. The sensing portion is located in a bound in which the restriction portion is disposed.
