Abstract
A pressure regulating flow control apparatus comprises a flow metering valve (10) for controllably discharging a fluid from a spring-biased throttling spool (30) thereof to a fluidic device at a regulated pressure and a pressure modulting valve (100) operatively associated with the throttling spool (30) of the flow metering valve (10) for modulating the fluid pressue in subchamber (18) of the metering valve (10) to alter the position of the throttling spool to adjust the regulated pressure in response to fluid temperature over a relatively large temperature range so as to compensate for the variation of fluid viscosity with fluid temperature.
