Abstract
The apparatus for flow rate control of a fluid provides a roller clamp having either a clamp body with a non-linear clamp body surface or a clamp body with a non-linear adjustment roller track, which, when coupled to a tube, provides a linear, or otherwise pre-determined, relationship between flow rate of a fluid flowing through the tube and adjustment of the roller clamp.
