Abstract
A laminar flow element including a single-piece layer of sheet stock having a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. The layer is an annular flat disk. The first surface includes at least one channel formed by etching. Sidewalls are formed by the at least one channel, the sidewalls having a height sufficient to create a transverse laminar flow.
