Abstract
A flow control device including an elongate body with a central longitudinal flow passage with upstream and downstream ends; an elastic orifice plate with a central orifice extending transverse the flow passage; and, a diffuser part projecting into the flow passage downstream from the plate and upon which a jet of fluid issuing and flowing downstream from the orifice in the plate impinges and is diffused; the diffuser part is placed downstream from the plate a distance so that it serves to diffuse the jet of liquid before its movement downstream in the flow passage generates a minus downstream of the plate.
