What is a solenoid valve? A solenoid valve is a type of pressure control valve that is electrically controlled. The valve gets its name from the solenoid or electric coil in its centre. This coil acts as a movable ferromagnetic core or plunger. In the rest position, the plunger shuts off a small orifice. An…

Ever wondered how dairy products are machine homogenised? The homogenising pressure control valve or nanovalve can homogenise dairy products, as well as food, beverages, and even chemical emulsion processes. Nanovalves use pressure to get the best of and improve product viscosity and stability. It also minimises running costs. Generally, nanovalves are high-efficiency homogenising pressure control…

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…

Updated 13 October 2025. A pressure control valve is the difference between steady production and costly downtime. In lube oil systems, the wrong valve can starve bearings of oil, overheat machinery, and halt operations. This guide explains how the right valve keeps your equipment running reliably in demanding industrial conditions. How Harsh Conditions Destroy Your…

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…

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.…

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…

When it comes to water suppliers, everyone appreciates some good water pressure, especially at home and at work. However, too much high pressure can be a significant cause of wasted water, pipe damage, and leaks. This is why many industries involved in water distribution or even chemicals and petrochemicals highly invest in pressure control valve…

The plumbing system consists of numerous parts and crossing points even before it reaches our home. Did you know that a pressure control valve can help maintain the life of your plumbing fixtures? Every home is designed to have a plumbing and sanitary system. It is considered as a vital system in any structure for…

A pressure control valve is one of the essential parts of a hydraulic system. It controls the pressure to the desired limit to retain the safety of the circuit. To manage the hydraulic system is a challenging task–to be able to notify whether it’s working correctly or not. Here are the following warning signs to…

The pressure control valve (also known as relief valves) are used to restrict the pressure downstream of a unit. They are utilised mainly to prevent the pneumatic system from overpressure and to ensure safety. Overpressure happens if the flow of water or air is not regulated, which may cause some parts of the system to…

For a pneumatic system to function, both pressure and flow are needed. However, the relationship between the two is often misunderstood by some. The pressure is measured in pound-force per square inch (psi), and it assesses the performance of an air compressor at any given time. On the other hand, flow is usually measured in…
