Abstract
An apparatus in which a magnetic field is generated by an excitation coil provided in the outside of a conduit and electromotive force generated in electrodes attached on the conduit is detected to thereby measure a flow rate of a fluid flowing in the conduit, in which the conduit is made thinner in a manner so that a ratio of the axial length of the conduit to the inside diameter of the conduit is set to a value within a range of from 0.2 to 1.0, and in which correction data previously analyzed in accordance with magnetic permeability and inside surface conductivity of a mate piping to which the conduit is to be connected are stored so that a detection signal from the electrodes is corrected on the basis of the correction data to thereby measure the flow rate of the fluid flowing in the conduit.
