Abstract

Fluid dispensing apparatus for dispensing small precise metered quantities of fluid, for example in a semiconductor manufacturing process, comprises two metering chambers disposed in series. Each metering chamber has an associated piston rod and fluid is dispensed therefrom alternately. Twice the volume of fluid is displaced from the upstream metering chamber so that when it dispenses fluid at the same time it can refill the second downstream metering chamber.
