Valves are essential elements for controlling fluid system performance. Virtually every fluid-power system requires some type of valve. In a hydraulic system, valves may control pressure, flow to an ...

The type CLK pressure-control valve has an added safety function that provides operational ease in hydraulic systems where temperature increases and/or external load peaks can cause problems.When ...

If you suddenly have the need for a two-way, flow control valve — from a valve-selection standpoint — what kind of questions do you ask yourself? Many, perhaps, don’t ask any questions and may make ...

"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 ...

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, ...

A new pressure-relief valve that protects sensitive components in fluidic systems against high-pressure peaks, and also ...

Like so many of the core technologies integral to automated industrial operations—such as motors, drives, and I/O—valves don’t always receive the attention they deserve in the automation arena.

Hydraulic valves are the heart of your equipment’s performance, and neglecting them can mean costly downtime and repairs. Regular inspections, proper fluid care, and early troubleshooting keep systems ...

Learn about the proper location for those valves, managing blowoff steam and turbine exhaust, and more. Very few deaerators utilize vessels that are not constructed and stamped in accordance with ASME ...

The cascading bypass system is perhaps the most common design for managing high-pressure steam in a combined-cycle plant. It is the hot reheat (HRH) bypass valve actuator that defines the valve’s ...
