An apparatus (10) is provided for determining the flow rate of a gas. The
apparatus comprises a housing (12) forming a vaporization chamber (14)
for converting a fluid into a gas vapor when subjected to heat (22). An
oscillation flow meter is formed within the housing (12), thereby being
integrated with the vaporization chamber, for receiving the gas vapor and
providing a frequency signal (60) indicative of the rate of flow of the
gas vapor.
