What is the name of the connector between a microbomb calorimeter and the oxygen supply?

I have uploaded some photos here:

I was wondering whether anyone could tell me what the name of this part is and if possible, where to find a replacement. It was the connector between the microbomb calorimeter in my lab and the oxygen tank, but it's not letting oxygen into the bomb anymore. I can't find any information online about it, and I'm pretty sure the company that made the Phillipson microbomb is no longer around. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

@astaud3,
Looks like a needle valve or a resistance control. Try the engineering drawing on page 176 of the "Handbook of Thermal Analysis and Calorimetry: From macromolecules to man", published by Elsevier. Sorry I have no link but it's on Google books. Several manufacturers are mentioned for the entire apparatus. Edit: not sure if this is a dynamic link, if not it should work to see the drawing:

@High Seas,
It functions as a Bernoulli.

@farmerman,
Knew you were an expert in geological strata - and you also do nanoparticles?! Anyway that's the link to the book:

This is Volume 5 of a Handbook that has been well-received by the thermal analysis and calorimetry community.... The fifth volume covers recent advances in techniques and applications that complement the earlier volumes....

@farmerman,
Well OK, and can you tell the original poster where to get a replacement valve? He promises not to smoke while turning up the oxygen Smile

@High Seas,
we always made em, chemists should be handy with metal turning and tool making, it gets em outta their damn labs for a few hours.

Hey kid, dont become a chemist youll be sorry.

@farmerman,
Not I, don't worry....

Besides, the only 2 guys of the Bernoulli family I ever heard of did statistical distributions. Chemistry was probably done by the cousins across town...
