Why Use a 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…
Read MoreThe Flow Control Valve: How Does It Work?
A control valve is used to regulate the flow of fluids by changing its flow size or direction as directed by the signal from a controller. It directly helps in controlling any flow rate and in regulating other vital processes or their quantities such as temperature, liquid level, liquid flow, and pressure. In automatic control…

A flow control valve is well-known in the industrial arena, but did you know that it’s also one of the most useful one in our homes? It is especially used in familiar places in our house – like the shower room. According to studies, Aussies pay about $492 for household water supply services and $584…
Read MoreHow a Flow Control Valve Helps Operate the Hydraulic Systems
Hydraulic systems run most of the mechanical machines in factories and even empowers massive trucks in the construction industry. The concept of hydraulics is straight forward, and it is considered as one of the most reliable and powerful engines invented. As part of a hydraulic system, a flow control valve plays a significant role. All…
Read MoreHow to Select the Right Flow Control Valve
Selecting the right flow control valve is not an amateur’s job. Valves may be common as they go; choosing the correct valve for your gas and liquid flow can take up some time and can be confusing. Are you confused about how to select the right control valve? We have gathered some tips before you…
Read MoreMaster Mac 2000: Basic Information About Flow Control Valve
A flow control valve manages the pressure of the hydraulic systems. It manages the airflow and allows any fluid to stream to the desired volume. This process creates a type of energy that can be utilised to operate light to substantial machine works. A basic example of a flow control valve is found in our…
Read MoreThe Standard Types of the Flow Control Valve and Their Functions
In a pneumatic system, flow control valves help in regulating the pressure of fluid flow in a pneumatic system. There are assorted types of flow control valves, and they vary in functions. Variations may be needed for a pneumatic system to operate properly. For instance, two separate pneumatic systems might need different features from a…
Read MoreHow Pneumatic Control Systems Utilise a Flow Control Valve
Various industries from around the world make essential use of the hydraulic and pneumatic systems. Although these two systems may function similarly, they are used for different purposes. Non-compressible fluids are used for hydraulics, and pneumatics make use of compressed gases. The flow control valve – also known as a speed controller – are equipment…
Read MoreAccessories for Flow Control Valves
There are a variety of accessories used for flow control valves. Most of them are quite vital for the performance of the whole system or machine. Positioner One of the main accessories for a flow control valve is the Positioner. Pneumatically operated flow valves depend on positioners to receive input signals from a process controller…
Read MoreNot So Common Flow Control Valves that are Probably Unheard Of
Flow control valves are used to automatically adjust variations in pressure and temperature. They come in varieties, ranging from simple orifices to more complicated closed-loop electrohydraulic valves. Flow Control In any hydraulic system, the purpose of flow control is to regulate the speed of anything flowing through the system. Flow rate also determines the rate…
Read MoreFlow Control Valves for Hydraulics
A flow control valve is hydraulically operated and throttled to maintain a pre-set flow rate or to limit the maximum flow rate in spite of changing upstream and downstream pressures. The main valve that is always in the throttled position is controlled by an adjustable flow control valve that senses pressure across an orifice plate.…
Read MoreCharacteristics 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…
