Abstract

An arrangement of a mass intake air flow measurement device suitable for integrating a humidity sensing device as well as a temperature sensing device and a pressure sensing device is provided. A second bypass passage 501 bypassing a bypass passage 205 is formed and a humidity sensing device 500 is mounted in the second bypass passage 501 . A second bypass passage inlet 502 and a second bypass passage outlet 503 formed in a wall surface of the bypass passage 205 are opened parallel to the direction of flow of air flowing in the bypass passage 205.

Claims (9)

1. A measurement device comprising:

a mass air flow measuring device for measuring a mass intake air flow in an air intake tube;

a humidity sensing device for sensing humidity in the air intake tube; and

a bypass passage into which part of air in the air intake tube flows; wherein,

the bypass passage divides into two channels;

the air flow measurement device is arranged in one of said channels;

the humidity sensing device is arranged in the other of said channel;

the one channel and the other channel merge downstream of the air flow measurement device and the humidity sensing device; and

the bypass passage includes a passage with a reduced sectional area being positioned between the dividing portion of the bypass passage and the merging portion of the bypass passage.
