ABSTRACT:
A flow rate control unit equipped with inner and outer dual cylinders in the housing of the unit, wherein the inner cylinder is normally urged by an elastic member to change the position of the upper section of the inner cylinder depending upon the balance between the above elastic force and the pressure of the fluid supplied in the housing so that the flow rate of the fluid to be discharged from the outlet of the housing can be controlled accordingly, characterized in that the outer and inner cylinders are made of ceramics to eliminate corrosion due to contact with fluid, and that the relationship between the average surface roughness of the inner circumferential surface of the outer cylinder and the average surface roughness of the outer circumferential surface of the inner cylinder is set within a range satisfying a formula to accurately discharge fluid at a constant flow rate.
