The present invention provides a flow rate measuring device capable of simplifying calculation, reducing the amount of a memory required for the calculation, absorbing variations due to manual operation and depending on the state of ignition, and improving the accuracy of appliance identification by using a configuration in which the features of appliances are extracted. The flow rate measuring device is formed of a difference value conversion unit 112 for converting the difference values of the flow rate measured at constant time intervals by an ultrasonic flowmeter 104; an appliance feature extraction unit 214 for creating an appliance feature code string indicating the feature of each appliance by making comparison and judgment using the third last code, the second last code, the last code and the current code of the codes obtained at constant time intervals and by performing code deletion, etc.; and an identification unit 116 for performing appliance identification by comparing the appliance feature code string with an appliance inherent feature code string indicating the feature code string inherent in each appliance.
