Abstract

A system for controlling flow of a first fluid through a line (14). Dispensing means (131, 132, 141) isolates a region (141) of the first fluid in the line (14) from effects of pressure in the line (14) outside of the region (141). The dispensing means (131, 132, 141) repetitively dispenses increments of first fluid into and out of the region (141). Measurement fluid is housed (13) in communication with the region (141) such that the dispensing of increments of first fluid into or out of the region (141) causes a change in the measurement fluid pressure. Displacement means (161, 162) displaces a predetermined volume increment of measurement fluid into and out of the measurement fluid housing (13), such that displacement of the predetermined volume increment causes a change in the measurement fluid pressure when the region is isolated by the dispensing means (131, 132, 141). Pressure measurement means (15) changes in the measurement fluid pressure. Control means (81) in communication with the pressure measurement means (15), the displacement means (161, 162), and the dispensing means (131, 132, 141), causes the dispensing means (131, 132, 141) to dispense first fluid in increments based on data from the pressure measurement means (15), such that at least one one of the predetermined volume increments of measurement fluid displaced serves as a reference for the volume increments of first fluid outputted.
