Abstract
The flow rate control device is provided with: a fluid resistor provided on the flow channel; a pressure sensor provided in any one of an upstream side or a downstream side of the fluid resistor; a pressure calculating part configured to calculate a pressure in a side with respect to the fluid resistor where the pressure sensor is not provided; a flow rate calculating part configured to calculate a flow rate based on the measurement pressure value and a calculation pressure value calculated by the pressure calculating part; and an abnormality diagnosing part configured to diagnose an abnormality of the measurement flow rate value based on the measurement flow rate value and a calculation flow rate value.
