摘要： A flow meter is disclosed for controlling the flow of a substance in accordance with a control signal. A somewhat-tubular member of resiliently-deformable material includes a plurality of internal, radial extensions from the tubular wall which are inflated to varying degrees to vary the internal passage and control the rate of flow through the member. The wall thickness of the tubular member is somewhat uniform (including the extensions) and a housing is provided to enclose the external surface of the member. Means are then provided for varying the pressure applied to the exterior of the member so that the extensions can be deformed or inflated to variously close the passage through the member.
