Abstract
A flow meter includes: a body portion comprising a main flow path wherein flows a fluid to be measured, a first branch flow portion wherein the fluid to be measured branches and flows from the main flow path, a second branch flow portion wherein the fluid to be measured, which branches and flows from the first branch flow portion, flows into the main flow path, and narrow portions for restricting the flow of the fluid to be measured, provided in a primary flow path between the branch flow portions, a branched flow path structuring portion through which flows the fluid to be measured, connected to the branch flow portions; and a fluid measuring portion provided with a sensor disposed facing a flow path that is provided in the branched flow path structuring portion, wherein the sensor measures the fluid based on the detection results of the fluid introduced from the branch flow portions.
