There is disclosed a flow control apparatus including a base body having a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet and a flow path for causing the inlet to communicate with the outlet, a flow adjustment means for adjusting a flow rate of the fluid in the flow path of said base body, a flow-rate detection means for detecting the flow rate of the fluid in the flow path, and a flow control means for outputting a flow-rate control signal to the flow adjustment means on the basis of a detection result of the flow-rate detection means to control the flow rate of the fluid to a predetermined value. At least one of the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet is positioned such that the flow direction of the fluid at a corresponding one of the fluid inlet and the fluid outlet is perpendicular to the flow path.
