Figure 6.35 illustrates the operation of a pressure-compensated valve. The design incorporates a hydrostat which maintains a constant 1.4kg/cm2 (20 psi) pressure differential across the…
This is the simplest form of a flow control valve. The globe valve gets its name from the disk element ‘globe’ that presses against the…
Flow control valves are used in constant-flow (fixed displacement pump) circuits to control actuator speed. The simplest type of flow control valve is a needle…
