Abstract
The invention is directed to an arrangement for measuring a quantity of intake air passing through an intake air duct by a sensing element disposed in parallel with a flow direction of the intake air. The sensing element includes a flow speed sensing resistor deposited on a base plate and formed into a film for sensing a flow speed of the intake air, and a pair of lead members deposited on the base plate and electrically connected to the resistor. The flow speed sensing resistor is arranged to form a temperature distribution of the resistor uniform in a direction parallel with and/or perpendicular to the flow direction of the intake air.
