Abstract

Two lead wires for each, connected to opposite ends of a heat generating element are secured to a holder. These lead wires form four-point-terminals at their other ends and thereby a disposable sensor is provided. A current source and a voltmeter are connected to the terminal and changes in various properties of fluid are determined on the basis of a value of current supplied from the current source and a value of voltage measured by the voltmeter.
