Abstract
A flow rate measuring device includes a flow rate measuring duct for placement in a primary passage for a fluid, extending substantially parallel to the primary passage, and a flow rate detector in the flow rate measuring duct for measuring a flow rate of the fluid in the primary passage, the flow rate measuring duct having a downstream wall including a notch or a through hole. The downstream wall may include an air-permeable member. The flow rate measuring device may include a projection on an outer wall of the flow rate measuring duct upstream of the notch, through hole, or air-permeable member, the projection extending in a circumferential direction with respect to the flow rate measuring duct.
