Fluid pressure detector and air flow rate measuring apparatus using same
First Claim
1. A fluid pressure detector comprising at least one differential pressure detector member;
- said differential pressure detector member comprising;
(a) a pair of tubular members of an identical configuration, each of said tubular members having a flattened shape having opposed narrow side walls and opposed wide side walls, and at least one pressure-measuring port being formed through one of said opposed narrow side walls; and
(b) a pair of plug members mounted on and closing opposite open ends of each of said tubular members, respectively, one of said pair of plug members having a pressure outlet port;
wherein said pressure-measuring port in one of said pair of tubular members is directed toward an upstream side with respect to a direction of flow of fluid to be measured, thereby forming a total pressure-measuring port, while said pressure-measuring port in the other tubular member is directed toward a downstream side, thereby forming a static pressure-measuring port, and said pressure outlet port in said plug member, mounted on said one tubular member, serves as a total pressure outlet port while said pressure outlet port in said plug member, mounted on said other tubular member, serves as a static pressure outlet port.

Abstract
An air flow rate measuring apparatus includes a casing having opposite open ends, a flow rectifier mounted within the casing at an upstream-side portion thereof with respect to a direction of flow of fluid to be measured, and at least one fluid pressure detector which is mounted within the casing, and is disposed downstream of the flow rectifier, the fluid pressure detector including at least one differential pressure detector member. The differential pressure detector member includes a pair of tubular members of an identical configuration, and each of the tubular members has a flattened shape having opposed narrow side walls and opposed wide side walls, and at least one pressure-measuring port is formed through one of the opposed narrow side walls. The differential pressure detector member further includes a pair of plug members mounted on and closing opposite open ends of each of the tubular members, respectively, one of the pair of plug members having a pressure outlet port. The at least one pressure-measuring port in one of the pair of tubular members is directed toward an upstream side with respect to a direction of flow of fluid to be measured, thereby forming a total pressure-measuring port, while the at least one pressure-measuring port in the other tubular member is directed toward a downstream side, thereby forming a static pressure-measuring port.
