Flow limiter

Flow limiter

A flow limiter or flow restrictor is a device to restrict the flow of a fluid, in general a gas or a liquid [ [http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=2098037 Supercritical fluid chromatographic detection by use of a parallel flow restrictor] ] . Some designs use single stage or multi stage orifice plates to handle high and low flow rates.

Uses

* As a safety valve to provide metered flow after closing in the event of a broken hose.

ee also

*Mass flow controller
*Needle valve
