Flow limiter

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A flow limiter or flow restrictor is a device to restrict the flow of a fluid, in general a gas or a liquid.[1] Some designs use single stage or multi stage orifice plates to handle high and low flow rates.

Uses

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