Abstract

A flow control for controlling the rate of flow of a fluid through a flow passage over a range of varying line pressures resembles a Belleville washer and is molded from a thermoplastic elastomer having a hardness range from 40 Shore A to 50 Shore D. The control has a circumferential outer rim and a dome-shaped contour within the rim which provides an apex, a concave downstream surface and a convex upstream surface, with the fluid flow passage extending through its apex. This flow control does not require interaction with a specifically designed seat but can simply be mounted across the flow passage which it is to control by retaining its rim portion upstream from the flow passage to be controlled.
