The thermal flowmeterincludes a tube, a temperature measuring device disposed on the tube and detecting a first temperature of a fluid, a heating and temperature measuring device disposed on the tube and detecting a second temperature of the fluid, a controller causing the heating and temperature measuring device to generate heat, a power determining unit determining a power consumption of the heating and temperaturemeasuring device, a flow rate obtaining unit converting the power consumption into a flow rate, a flow rate correcting unit correcting the flow rate, a memory unit storing a first zero-point power consumption, a zero-point power ratio calculating unit calculating a zero-point power ratio based on the first zero-point power consumption and a second zero-point power consumption, and a setting unitcalculating a correction factor based on the zero-point power ratio and setting the correction factor in the flow rate correcting unit.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a thermal flowmeter which measures the temperature of a fluid at two points upstream and downstream of a pipe, and controls a heater so that the temperature difference between the two points becomes a specified value, thereby according to the power applied to the heater Calculate the flow rate of the fluid. Background technique [0002] Thermal flowmeters generally adopt the following method: make the heater temperature relative to the water temperature at a certain temperature such as plus 10°C to operate by heating and driving, and calculate the flow rate based on the temperature difference between the upstream and downstream or the power of the heater. It is known that the sensor output changes according to physical property values ​​such as thermal conductivity, specific heat, density, and viscosity of the fluid (see Patent Document 1). [0003] Figure 21 It is a diagram explaining the principle of a thermal flowm...
