Abstract
A metering valve having a valving element with a valving surface; a valve head with a valve seat, an inlet passage upstream of the valving surface and an outlet passage downstream of the valving surface; a valve body which provides a predetermined small movement of the valving surface into and out of contact with the valve seat to dispense fluid, and biases the valving surface against the valve seat when fluid is not being dispensed; and a seal between the valving element and the valve head, the seal defining a dispensed fluid cavity around the valving surface and valve seat communicating with the inlet and outlet passages, and including a diaphragm in the preferred embodiment.
