Abstract: A venturi vacuum drawback assembly includes a fluid supply passage that supplies the fluid to the device, a fluid return passage that returns the fluid to the device, a shutoff valve positioned on the fluid supply passage, a bypass passage, a bypass valve positioned on the bypass passage, and a venturi valve positioned on the bypass passage downstream of the bypass valve. The bypass passage includes an inlet and an outlet. The inlet is connected to the fluid supply passage upstream of the shutoff valve, and the outlet connected to the fluid return passage. The venturi valve includes a venturi inlet, a venturi outlet, and a primary orifice positioned between the venturi inlet and the venturi outlet. The primary orifice is connected to a drawback opening on the fluid supply passage by a conduit. The drawback opening of the fluid supply passage is positioned downstream of the shutoff valve.
Abstract: A dual orifice venturi vacuum drawback assembly includes a fluid supply passage that supplies fluid to the device, a fluid return passage that returns fluid from the device, a shutoff valve position on the fluid supply passage, a bypass passage, a bypass valve positioned on the bypass passage, and a dual orifice venturi valve. The bypass passage includes an inlet connected to the fluid supply passage upstream of the shutoff valve, and an outlet connected to the fluid return passage. The dual orifice venturi valve is positioned on the bypass passage upstream of the bypass valve. The dual orifice venturi valve includes a venturi inlet, a venturi outlet, a primary orifice, and a secondary orifice. The primary orifice is connected to a primary drawback opening on the fluid return passage. The secondary orifice is connected to a secondary drawback opening on the fluid return passage.

Abstract: A flow meter includes a transparent tubular housing in which an indicator in the form of a piston having a radially expanded edge cooperates with a tapered inner peripheral wall portion of the housing. The housing can include scale indicia of flow rates coinciding with positions of the indicator edge. In addition, a temperature sensitive label providing a visible indication of fluid temperature can be orthogonally aligned with respect to the flow rate scale to permit accurate placement of a graphic overlay exhibiting representations of a different fluid characteristic which varies with changes in the flow rate and temperature of the fluid within the ranges indicated by the meter. Projection of the temperature indication to the indicator edge identifies a particular value for the fluid characteristic shown on the graphic representation by mere observation.
