The 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…
Read MoreThe Automation of Pneumatic Valves Using Actuators
Unlike the manual valves of the 19th Century that had to be turned on or off by hand using a manual spigot, the modern pneumatic valves used in most industries today are all automated. In fact, most pneumatic valves today have automation thanks to what is called actuators that are part of the valve structure.…

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 MoreThe Pneumatic System: Pneumatic Valves, Actuators and More Parts
The word “pneumatic” comes from a Greek word Pneuma, which means air. Pneumatics work by means of collecting gases and using it as a medium to create a workforce that can operate heavy machinery and other systems that uses linear or rotational energy. Pneumatic valves are used to control the flow of compressed air into…
Read MoreSigns to Look For in Troubleshooting a Hydraulic Pressure Control Valve
Two of the highly efficient power-producing machines invented in the history of engineering are the hydraulics and pneumatic systems. And most of the manufacturing and engineering industries, even with the most advanced technology in this century, still rely on the competence of hydraulics. A hydraulic system has several parts that allow the whole mechanism to…
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 MorePneumatic Valves: Facts About the Different Types of Actuators
A valve is a tool that stabilises and manages a piping mechanism. The primary part, and one of the most crucial devices in a valve system, is called an actuator. Actuators are a kind of engine that operates by moving and controlling the entire machinery of the valve unit, and it’s the starting point of…
Read MoreKnowing the Functions of a Back Pressure Control Valve
A back pressure control valve is a type of valve that holds the pressure for production vessels (separators, treaters, and free water knockouts). The primary function of this valve is to release upstream pressure when it reaches a designated set point. This type of control valve is best for oil hydraulics. This valve is perfect…
Read MoreWhen Is the Ideal Time to Change the Pressure Control Valve?
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…
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…
