Débitmètre à film chaud. Cette technologie, plus moderne, fonctionne sur un principe similaire à celui du fil chaud. Toutefois, elle utilise un film mince plutôt qu'un fil, offrant une mesure plus précise et moins susceptible aux perturbations causées par la saleté ou les particules présentes dans l'air. Le film est également chauffé à une température constante et tout changement de température dû au passage de l'air est utilisé pour déterminer le débit d'air. 4, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9bitm%C3%A8tre%20d%27air%20massique%20%C3%A0%20film%20chaud
