Abstract
A flow control device, including a first member defining a first portion of a flow path and a second member defining a second portion of the flow path. The flow path has a cross sectional flow area defined at least partially by the first member and the second member. A length of the flow path is greater than a largest dimension of the cross sectional flow area, and the cross sectional flow area is adjustable by movement of at least a portion of the first member relative to the second member. A crush zone arranged with at least one of the first member and the second member that can change in length due to loading thereof. A method of adjusting restriction of a flow path is also included.
