PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a mass flow control device and a real gas mass flow control method for controlling the flow of gas with high accuracy irrespective of the kind and properties of gas to be controlled. SOLUTION: The mass flow control device 1 has an inflow pipe part 2 into which real gas flows: a temperature sensor 7 detecting the temperature of real gas; a pressure sensor 8 detecting the pressure of the real gas; a flow sensor 5 detecting the mass flow of the real gas; a flow control valve 6 controlling the flow rate of the real gas; and a control circuit 9 regulating the opening of the flow control valve 6 based on the output of each sensor. The control circuit 9 has a digital arithmetic circuit 10 comparing a flow signal from the flow sensor 5 with a flow set value corrected with an environmental correction factor which is a ratio of real gas flow to the flow of calibration gas depending on pressure and temperature.
