Flow limiter
A flow limiter or flow restrictor is a device to restrict the flow of a fluid, in general a gas or a liquid.[1] Some designs use single stage or multi stage orifice plates to handle high and low flow rates.
Uses
- As a safety valve to provide limited flow after closing in the event of a broken hose.
- Reduce pressure in a system
- Reduce flow of fluid (velocity) through a system. e.g. to reduce water usage in a shower.

gollark: But good to know?
gollark: I mean, I'm not certain why you'd want to, the main use seems to be steganography and weird text rendering hacks.
