Abstract
A flow measuring device includes a sub-bypass passage arranged to precede a bypass passage which is linked to a flow detecting element. Bypass passage wall surfaces, which are positioned adjacent the sub-bypass passage, are inclined toward a direction of a sub-inflow opening, and an inner-circumference-side wall surface and an outer-circumference-side wall surface of the sub-bypass passage are inclined toward a direction of a sub-outflow opening. The described structure minimizes variations in the size of the bypass passage due to build-up of foreign material, and results in a more stable flow velocity of measured fluid past the flow detecting element.
