ABSTRACT:
A thermal type gas flowmeter comprising a sensor element which, in turn, comprises at least one first heating resistor, two or more resistors in fluid and a second heating resistor which is disposed between the first heating resistor and a housing supporting the sensor element. The first and second heating resistors are electrically independent from each other. A temperature sensing unit is provided between the first and second heating resistors. A temperature of the first or second heating resistor is controlled by a temperature sensed by the temperature sensing unit.
