Abstract
The present invention provides a valve arrangement for metering fluid flow. The valve arrangement includes a valve seat including an orifice through which fluid flows. The valve arrangement also includes a valve displaceable along an axis between a first position contiguously engaging the valve seat and a second position spaced from the valve seat. Fluid flow between the valve seat and the valve is prevented in the first position and is permitted in the second position. The valve arrangement further includes a counterweight mounted on the valve for relative movement therebetween.
