Abstract
Thermal mass flowmeter comprising a conduit defining a flow path and an elongated thermal mass flow sensor. The thermal mass flow sensor is coupled to the conduit with the longitudinal axis of the thermal mass flow sensor being aligned substantially parallel to the general direction of the fluid flow within the conduit. A method of measuring flowrates provides the same axial alignment of the thermal mass flow sensor.
