Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through the orifice; bypassing involves routing part of the flow ...

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 ...

Ordinarily, if you want liquid to flow in only one direction through a pipe, that pipe needs to be equipped with a flap-type valve – which could fail. Now, however, scientists have created a new type ...

A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

May 17 (UPI) --Scientists have discovered new potential applications for a valve invented and patented by famed engineer Nikola Tesla 100 years ago. Researchers conducted a variety of tests using the ...

The DV Series bidirectional high-flow electronic valves offer flows to 100 liters/min. The precision-built, two-way valves use a patented valving principle and come in a variety of voltage, connector, ...
