To provide a flow meter, and a flow volume controlling device equipped
therewith, capable of reducing pressure loss while obtaining a flow
rectifying effect in a measurement fluid. A flow meter for measuring the
flow volume of a measurement fluid, equipped with a flow path wherein the
measuring fluid flows, and a flow rectifier that is disposed within the
flow path, where the flow rectifier has holes for rectifying the flow of
a measurement fluid, and has an area that is wider than the flow path
cross-sectional area in a direction that is perpendicular to the
direction in which the flow path extends. The flow volume controlling
device is provided with the flow meter, a controlling valve, and
controlling means for adjusting the flow volume of a fluid that flows
through the flow path of the flow meter through controlling the
controlling valves based on information regarding the flow volume
detected by the flow meter.
