Characteristics of Flow Control Valves
A control valve is used in situations where there is a need to control the flow of any fluid such as water. A flow control valve checks whether water flows through the pipes and enters the system to ensure that the flow is not too low or high. Placing the valve in the area from…
Read MoreDifferent Classifications of Pneumatic On-Off Valves and Their Features
Pneumatic valves are powered by compressed air. They can control the flow of various liquid types namely corrosive medium, liquid metal, oil, radioactive medium, slurry, steam, and water. And they can be readily found in many applications. Here are the different classifications of pneumatic on-off valves and their respective features. Ball Valve Ball valves are…
Read MoreA Look into the Pressure Control Valve Called Pressure-Relief Valve
The pressure control valve is the reason hydraulic systems work properly. Without it, systems would fail. They would not be able to maintain system pressures safely and under the desired maximum level. They wouldn’t even be able to keep a fixed pressure in part of a circuit. This valve comes in different types, as it…
Read MoreThe functions of one-way flow control valves
It has been known that flow control valves are used to regulate the flow rate and fluid pressure in a wide range of systems. The most basic kind of flow control valves consists of a changeable aperture, which closes to slow flow rate or opens to increase the flow rate. Such valves are designed to…
Read MoreComponents that expend compressed air
Assistant valves, directional control valves, and execution valves (cylinders) are the components that consume compressed air. Let us identify each of them. Control valve Control valves are valves that control air flow. Such valves include flow pressure control valve, non-return valves, shuttle valves, and more. Flow-control valve. Formed by a variable throttle and a non-return…
Read MoreAll About Hydraulic Flow Control Valves
It is known that flow control valves are used in regulating pressure and flow rate of liquids or gases into and out of a pipeline. They are one of the essentials in optimising system performance that rely on a port or a flow passage with a variable flow area. Here are the things you should…
Read MoreHow to Spot a Bad Pressure Control Valve
A pressure reducing valve or pressure control valve (PCV) is a pneumatic valve that acts to change resistance to a fluid’s flow but does not alter its supposed destination. In simple terms, the fluid that passes through PCV is not lost but goes to the destination it was proposed. This type of valve can be…
Read MoreCommon Types of Flow Control Valves
Numerous types of flow control valves are used in different applications and industries. They vary from being simple to sophisticated, and some are complicated enough to adjust temperature and pressure variations automatically. Check out the most common flow control valves: Globe valves. This type of valve consists of a stationary ring and movable disk-type element…
Read MoreDifferent Types of Pneumatic Valves and How They Work
In many industrial applications, pneumatic systems that depend on the force of compressed air to transmit power exist from diesel engines to pressure power tools. One of the components responsible for the control in the rate, pressure, and amount of air as it moves through a pneumatic system is pneumatic valves. And this type of…
Read MoreThe Role of Pressure Control Valves in Hydraulic Systems
In hydraulic systems, hydraulic energy is produced as there is a prime mover, generally an electric motor, driving the pump. This develops hydraulic pressure due to resistance to the flow of the pump. However, if the pump flow is off-loaded, recirculated back to the tank, or brought to a stop during the circuit’s non-action periods,…
Read MoreThe importance of flow control valves in industries and applications
Why is a flow control valve required in various systems? Many of us are not familiar with flow control valves; even its importance and uses are unknown to us. They are used in limiting and regulating the flow of liquids, gases, or a mixture of both. And in its basic form, a flow control valve…
Read MoreSome Facts About the Pressure Control Valve
A hydraulic system is a device that is operated by the resistance provided or the pressure transferred when a liquid is forced through a tube or small opening. It is used in various types of small and large industrial settings, including vehicles, construction equipment, and buildings. Top users of the system are manufacturing, logging, paper…
