A refrigerant flow metering device for use in a refrigeration system which uses a movable piston with a fixed flow passage in series with a variable area flow passage. The variable flow area is defined by the position of the piston relative to the containing housing. The position of the movable piston is a function of refrigerant pressure differential across the piston and the force of a spring member acting in an opposite direction on the piston. The variable flow area is defined as the clearance between a tapered fixed housing and the tapered portion of the movable piston. The piston is sealed via an "O" ring seal causing fluid to flow first through a fixed bore and then through the variable flow area.
