What is a Water Pressure Control Valve Regulator?

water polo fittings

Water pressure control valve regulators, or simply water pressure regulators, are plumbing valves that reduce water pressure from the local supply line to more localised lines. Water pressure can be a bane or a boon when it comes to local lines such as showers or opening the tap in the kitchen sink. You need the…

Choosing the Right Flow Control Valve

valve and gauge

The water, oil, gas, and mining industries are industries that need a network of pipes for their necessary fluids to flow through. So, aside from the pipes, what do all these industries have in common? They all use flow control valve systems to regulate the flow of liquids. Though these industries are different from each…

Fluid Oscillators as Effective Pneumatic Valves or Flow Control Devices

pneumatic valves

Fluid oscillators are pneumatic valves or flow control valve systems based on the bi-stable states of a jet of fluid inside a specially designed flow chamber. Fluid oscillators are mostly found in the aerospace industry and always involve constant improvement in performance and fuel efficiency. Also called sweeping jet actuators or flip flop oscillators, these…

Pneumatic Valves and Other Industrial Equipment Responses in a Post-COVID-19 World

pneumatic valves

Australia and most countries worldwide are experiencing the thawing down of lockdowns and strict health protocols. However, even as the industrial equipment distributors and manufacturers are starting to breathe sighs of relief, every response and capability must be in light of what is possible post-COVID-19, for better or worse. While pneumatic components and pneumatic valves…

The Importance of a Pressure Control Valve in the Water Supply Network

pressure control valve

Challenged water distribution companies are committed to identifying and installing control mechanisms because of the rising cost of water leakage. The leakage problem has never been more prevalent than in this period of the coronavirus pandemic. Lockdowns and quarantines are forcing people to stay home or work from home, resulting in increased water consumption. To…

The Essentials of a Pressure Control Valve

pressure control valve

A pressure control valve is found in every hydraulic system. This type of valve assists in a variety of functions such as keeping system pressures safely below a pre-set pressure as part of a circuit. There are different types of pressure control valves, including relief valves, reducing valves, sequence valves, counterbalance valves, and unloading valves.…

The Flow Control Valve from MasterMac2000

flow control valve

The function of a flow control valve is to regulate the flow rate for a specific portion of a hydraulic circuit. For hydraulic systems, they are used to control the flow rate when fluids are used in motors and cylinders. Thus, its main job is to regulate the speed of those components.  Work, energy, and…

The Importance of Pressure Control Valve for Industries

pressure control valve

At least one pressure control valve is found in virtually every type of hydraulic system. These valves can help in a variety of functions, such as keeping the system pressure safely below a desired upper limit as well as maintaining a set pressure as part of a circuit. Why do we need a pressure control…

Why Use a Flow Control Valve?

flow control valve

In the water distribution industry, water is a scarce resource that we all need to protect. We need to secure the water supply for the coming generations (and not just the next) as well as a growing population. The use of a flow control valve can help reduce water losses and contribute to efficient water…
