ABSTRACT:
A thermal type air flowmeter arranges a temperature-dependent heating resistance element in an air flow path and measures the air flow rate from the output of a gauge circuit containing the heating resistance element. A calculation circuit in the flowmeter is provided for correcting the output characteristic by a polynomial expression higher than a quadratic expression. Thereby, high flowmeter measuring accuracy is achieved in lieu of laser trimming and with small-scale circuit composition.
