The ultraminiature PCFCD-1N1 pressure-compensated flow-control valve, with a low-friction diaphragm, is designed to maintain a constant flow rate, regardless of variations. The ultraminiature ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through ...

"Hydraulic Control Valves" describes the three main types of control valves and their functions in a hydraulic system. Control valves control the direction, pressure, and flow rate of fluid as it ...
