ABSTRACT:
An adjustable flow limiter for adjustably limiting flow, for example through the vent of a diaphragm-type fluid flow regulator. The adjustable flow limiter has a housing with a compartment therein, and first and second ports communicating with the compartment, the ports and the compartment defining a flow passage through the housing. A foam body is disposed in the compartment in the flow path, and a compressor, preferably in the form of a threaded member, can selectively compress the foam body to adjust the flow rate through the flow passage.
