All 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 MoreFour Things that can Damage Pneumatic Tools
Among the many power tools you can buy, pneumatic tools are the most indestructible ones. However, there are still factors that can stop them from functioning properly. Here are four things that can damage these tools. Unfiltered air Let us start with the most popular culprit: the dirty or moist air. If the air that…
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 Purpose of Flow Control Valves
Flow control valves are designed to be used in pneumatic systems and sophisticated hydraulics. The valves include simple openings to advanced closed-loop electrohydraulic valves that adjust automatically when dealing with temperature and pressure. The main purpose of the valve in the hydraulic system is to regulate speed effectively. These valves control the speed control the…

Due to advances in technology, the company continued to thrive, producing industrial automation equipment in the following decades. And one of its proud pneumatic tools is the pneumatic actuator. Pneumatic actuators are devices…
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 MoreDifference Between Pressure Control Valves and Pressure Regulators
In the automation industry, understanding the differences between the pressure control valve and pressure regulators can be crucial. Each of these equipment provides equal importance but functions in different ways. It’s essential to understand their functions to be knowledgeable about both solutions to avoid any process problems. Here are their differences. The difference To understand…
Read MoreBasic Functions of Pressure Control Valves
Most circuit designers use effectively designed systems to prevent uncontrolled system pressures and pump flow during standby periods. In this way, hydraulic system damage, overheating of the hydraulic fluid, and power wastage are prevented or avoided. This is where pressure control valves are used. Pressure control valves are used in hydraulic systems to deal with…
Read MoreAll About Pneumatic Tools And How it Works
Have you ever wondered what pneumatic tools are? Many have encountered these tools especially people who are working in the industrial sectors. Yes, these tools are well known and are used in industrial settings. However, these are becoming more popular in home (DIY) fixings. Pneumatic tools are also called air tools that are powered by…
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…
