There is described an anemometer for the measurement of the flow velocity of gases and liquids particularly for the measurement of the intake air of internal combustion engines whereby the heated resistances are film resistance made of a metal layer and carrier, should have the shortest possible response time. This is attained by so dimensioning the flow paths (6) in the metal layer (1) that the resulting resistance per unit of surface area stands in a constant ratio to the local heat transfer coefficient.

Apparatus for measuring the flow velocity of gases and liquids

For the secure positioning combined with a quick regulation of the thermal equilibrium of thin layer resistances, especially in hot film anemometers, there are used holding devices in which the thin layer resistance 2 is rested on at least three pointed supports 4 of a holding clamp 1 and is pressed on at least two of the supports 4 with clips provided with spikes.
