Abstract
According to a flow measuring device, first ranges formed by a first plurality of resistors form a single continuous value range on a flow direction coordinate axis. Thus, the first plurality of resistors is limited from being thermally insulated from one another in the flow direction, and thereby detectivity is improved. Also, second ranges formed by a second plurality of resistors form an other single continuous value range on a longitudinal direction coordinate axis. The other continuous value range includes a position that corresponds to a half length of a heating element in a longitudinal direction. As a result, detection difference is obtained at the position, at which a temperature is most optimally detected, and thereby detectivity is further improved.
