Flow control valves, also known as volume-control valves, are used to regulate the rate of fluid flow to different parts of a hydraulic system.
C. FLOW CONTROL VALVES FLOW CONTROL VALVES 1. What are Flow Control Valves ? • Flow control valves, also known as volume-control valves, are used to regulate the rate of fluid flow to different parts of a hydraulic system. • Since control of flow rate is a means by which the speed of hydraulic machine elements is governed, therefore flow control valves are also known as speed-control valves. • The flow rate to a particular system component is varied by throttling or by diverting the flow. 2. Types of Flow Control Valves The two basic types of flow control valves are : 1. Non-pressure compensated flow control valves, and (i) Globe valve, and (ii) Needle valve. 2. Pressure compensated flow control valves.
