Abstract (en)

[origin: WO9904060A1] A fluid delivery apparatus and method for metering and delivering a fluid to a downstream process. The fluid delivery apparatus includes a vessel (12) containing a fluid to be dispensed and a barrier member (16), wherein the barrier member (16) is translatable against the liquid (14). A method for metering and delivering a fluid to a downstream process includes confining the fluid in a vessel (12) having a barrier member (16) and selectively imposing a force on the barrier member (16) to cause the fluid to flow from the vessel (12).
