Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a hot-electrical-resistance type gas flow meter wherein a deterioration of a gas-cooled hot-electrical-resistance is prevented at the maximum flow rate, a decrease of sensitivity is prevented at the minimum flow rate and a wide dynamic range is achieve, and a structural feature of such gas flow meter is that the gas flow meter includes auxiliary path flow resistance changing means for changing a flow resistance of the auxiliary path so that the larger the flow rate of the flow is, the larger the flow resistance of the auxiliary path is.
