rod, thus allowing the piston to be displaced by fluid
from the secondary flow. If the flow through the fuse
exceeds a specified amount, the piston, moving in the
direction of flow, will block the ports originally
covered by the locking piston, thus blocking the flow
of fluid.
Any interruption of the flow of fluid through the
fuse removes the operating force from the lock piston.
This allows the lock piston spring to return the piston
to the original position, which resets the fuse.
