An automatic control device that maintains a constant flow of liquid or gas through a system.
From 'flow' + 'mano-' (prefix from Greek 'manos' meaning thin/sparse) + '-stat' (from Greek 'statos' meaning standing/stationary). A technical term from engineering combining root concepts of fluid dynamics.
Flowmanstats are unsung heroes in medical technology—the flowmanostat in your IV drip prevents the dangerous blood pressure spikes that could happen if fluids flowed too fast into your veins!
