Abstract
A static limiter of the flow rate through a hydraulic circuit generates a pocket having a high degree of cavitation at a predetermined flow rate. The static limiter constitutes a streamlined, oval body coaxially mounted within a circular cylinder with obstacles fixedly disposed between the streamlined body and the cylinder whose diameter is greater than that of the body. Under certain conditions it can operate as a non-return valve.
