Abstract
A cooling device for a gas turbine engine component comprises a gas turbine engine component having an upstream channel and a downstream channel that define a cooling flow path. A meter feature includes at least one hole to meter flow from the upstream channel to the downstream channel, and has an upstream side and a downstream side. An exit diffuser extends outwardly from the downstream side of the meter feature to control flow in a desired direction into the downstream channel. A gas turbine engine is also disclosed.
