A strainer is a device made of wire mesh screens, which seek to remove large solid particles from a fluid. As part of standard engineering…
Fluid enters the inlet at the bottom of the tube, passes from the inside to the outside through the filter element and exits at the…
This is a versatile filter, which can be directly welded into a reservoir’s suction and return line or conversely installed in pipes with a maximum…
A pressure switch is an instrument that automatically senses a change in pressure and opens or closes an electrical switching element, when a predetermined pressure…
A hydraulic fuse is analogous to an electric fuse and its application in a hydraulic system is much the same as that of an electric…
Let us consider a hydraulic circuit in which two cylinders are used to execute two separate operations as shown in Figure 6.24. Now, let us…
A sequencing valve again is a normally closed pressure control valve used for ensuring a sequential operation in a hydraulic circuit, based on pressure. In…
Let us consider a hydraulic circuit where one cylinder is required to apply a lesser force than the other as shown in Figure 6.20. Here…
A compound pressure relief valve is one which operates in two stages. They are designed to accommodate higher pressures than direct acting relief valves at…
