The present invention refers to a flow measuring system and, more particularly, to a flow measuring system adapted for measuring a flow rate of sealant applied to a plurality of parts, the flow measuring system having a plurality of flowmeters, each of the flowmeters in fluid communication with a fluid injector, and the plurality of flowmeters being configured to generate, process and transmit a signal related to the flow rate of the injected fluid.

Embodiments of the invention provide a coupler for use in a closed transfer system configured to selectively engage a container seated in fluid communication with the coupler. The coupler has a body with a slot having an axial component, and an outlet. A probe extends from a first end portion to a second end portion and is at least partially received within the body, the probe is configured to be movable relative to the body between a first position and a second position to selectively control a flow of fluid through the outlet. A probe tip with a cylindrical bore is configured to engage the second end portion of the probe, and a handle is coupled to the probe and configured to interface with the slot. Axial movement of the handle along the slot moves the probe between the first position and the second position.
