Abstract

Systems and methods for pressure reduction, including a first conduit with a pressure sensor, a static restriction device, and second conduit connected therebetween. Fluid is introduced through the second conduit as a function of the pressure sensed by the pressure sensor, thereby compensating for fluctuations in sensed pressures due to restriction device degradation and other factors.
