Noncompensated flow controls are simple valves that meter flow by restricting or throttling. The amount of flow that passes through an orifice and the pressure drop across it are directly related.

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

Similar to testing a car, a team of researchers at UBC Okanagan has been test-driving a number of mechanical heart valves ...

Process control valve flow characteristics make regular loop tuning a necessity. Understanding the basics can ease the frustration and ensure loop stability. But first, some basics about why this ...

Flow control in industrial systems is critical for efficiency, safety, and optimal resource utilization in today's industrial ...

Connell Method. In this method, the minimum pressure drop assigned to the control valve is based on pump discharge pressure, increased frictional pressure drop due to maximum flow rate ...

This electro-proportional flow control valve delivers an industry leading flow rate of 114 gpm (431 L/min) and can operate at a maximum pressure of 5000 psi (350 bar). Specifically designed for ...

The main drain of an automatic sprinkler system is actually the water flow control valve. It's important to test the functioning of this value at least once per year to ensure proper water flow ...

Heart valves allow blood to flow one way and prevent it from flowing in the wrong direction. The tricuspid valve controls blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle. The bicuspid or ...
