  • Patent number: 4577658
    Abstract: Calibrated fluid flow control device comprising several valves (1a to 1b) mounted in parallel on a single body (2) receiving in several housings (6), several seats and several interchangeable calibrated nozzles, the housings (6) being connected to a common input (8) and a common output (7). The valves are preferably bistable electrovalves.

  • Patent number: 4335616
    Abstract: A device for measuring the velocity of flow of a fluid comprises a length of pipeline through which the fluid flows. A first resistance is mounted to extend across the pipeline at a first point and is supplied with periodic input pulses by a pulse generator such that the temperature of the first resistance is caused to rise periodically. A second resistance is mounted to extend across the pipeline at a second point which is spaced downstream of the first point. The second resistance has a value which varies with temperature and produces an output signal when it detects fluid heated by the first resistance. A circuit measures the time between an input pulse and the corresponding output signal such that the velocity of the flow of the fluid can be determined.
