Abstract
Provided is a weighing apparatus with a flowmeter function includes a load sensor unit configured to detect a load of a flow rate calculation target, an A/D conversion unit configured to sequentially convert load signals from the load sensor unit into digital load data at predetermined intervals, an arithmetic processing unit configured to sequentially convert the load data into weighed values to calculate flow rate values, and a storage unit for storing the weighed values. The arithmetic processing unit calculates change amounts in weighed values and calculates a flow rate value based on a flow rate calculation cycle set based on a minimum time by which the change amounts become equal to or more than a change amount in weighed value, the change amount being calculated based on a minimum indication of weighed value and the required resolution of weighed value and satisfying a required resolution.
