The Role of the Pressure Control Valve in Water Heaters

pressure control valve

The water heater temperature valve or pressure control valve is also called the T&P valve. It is the safety feature found on all water heater tanks. The valve must always be in good working order to ensure the water heater can operate safely in the event of extreme pressure build-up. The valve is designed to…

How Pneumatic Valves Make Jackhammers Work

pneumatic valves

Concrete and asphalt, made to last decades, sometimes need to be removed to make way for a new project. In mining, rocks need to be removed to make digging faster. Before the invention of jackhammers (sometimes called pneumatic drills), heavy metal-headed sledgehammers were used. Today, with the number of concrete and asphalt projects, there won’t…

Pneumatic Air Rams are Found in Common Everyday Tools like Nail Guns

air rams

Pneumatic air rams, or more commonly known as pneumatic system, use pressurised gasses to power either a rotation rotor system or a reciprocating piston. By comparison, pneumatic hydraulic systems use liquids to apply pressurised power. Essentially, pneumatic systems work by compressing to a higher pressure that forces a spindle or piston to move. But while…

The Essentials of a Pressure Control Valve

pressure control valve

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.…

The Flow Control Valve from MasterMac2000

flow control valve

The function of a flow control valve is to regulate the flow rate for a specific portion of a hydraulic circuit. For hydraulic systems, they are used to control the flow rate when fluids are used in motors and cylinders. Thus, its main job is to regulate the speed of those components.  Work, energy, and…
