Abstract

See full text

Apparatuses manage the flow of fluids, such as, for example, water, through pipes. Specifically, the apparatuses of the present invention creates a backward pressure in fluid traversing a pipe, wherein the backward pressure within the pipe provides compression to the fluid effectively compressing entrapped gas bubbles within the fluid, allowing more accurate water meter measurements. The apparatuses comprise conically tapered openings to more efficiently pass fluids therethrough. Moreover, the apparatuses comprise bleed channels to allow for the flow of fluids during times of low fluid flow.
