Abstract
An air flow rate measuring apparatus having an air flow sensor and a temperature sensor which are disposed in a passage for intake air formed in the vicinity of a main air flow guide chamber in an internal combustion engine. The electric characteristics of the air flow sensor vary with the flow rate of air flowing by the sensors. The air flow sensor and temperature sensor have the same shape and the same construction. The temperature sensor is used to compensate the temperature of the air flow sensor so as to maintain the air flow sensor at a predetermined temperature. These sensors are arranged in the same plane that is at right angles to the direction in which said intake air flows. The sensors are extended parallel to each other in symmetrical relationship with respect to the center line in the above-mentioned plane. Conductor support pins to which the sensors are fixed are also arranged symmetrically with respect to the center line in the mentioned plane.
