Dangerous fluids must be kept within a containment. This may be a problem in emergency situations which almost inevitably happen from time to time in mechanical pumps and flow control valves due to material fatigue, seizing, or screws getting loose. Also during the subsequent repair the fluid may be exposed. A solution is offered by no-moving-parts, maintenance-free fluidics. Three classes of devices are discussed in this paper: A) passive flow controllers, B) valves controlled by an external signal, C) fluidic pumps driven by alternating flow.
