  • Patent number: 4957006
    Abstract: A multiple orifice flow measuring device includes a housing having a central passage and a shaft passage located above and parallel to the central passage. The central passage contains a pipe adapted to be connected to a gas flow line. Mounted in the shaft passage is a shaft, on which is rotatably mounted a disk having a plurality of orifices of various diameters spaced circumferentially about the disk and selectively registerable in the flow passage of the pipe. Closely fitting around the pipe against the disk is a piston having a annular recess. A spring located in the central passage between the piston and the end of the housing opposite the disk forces the piston against the disk, thereby maintaining it in position.
