Abstract
A flow control means has two opposed co-operating faces between which fluid is introduced at an inlet zone so as to flow radially towards at least one downstream zone, one face being loaded or loadable towards the other face and comprising a pressure-deflectable elastic or elastically loaded element which is deflectable to provide a clearance between the co-operating faces which is convergent towards the or each downstream zone.
