how to choose the perfect valve for your application?

To find the correct valve for your application, it is important to know certain information essential to the proper functioning of the same. Regardless of the measures of the pipe, in order not to restrict the passage of fluid, must also know:

• Fluid pressure (and if there differential pressure between the inlet and outlet of the solenoid valve)

• Fluid temperature and ambient temperature

• The fluid itself (can be aggressive to many of the materials used in the solenoid)

• The installation voltage and frequency (if AC powered)

We then perform a brief explanation of the four basic types of valves available:

 

• Indirect control solenoid

• Directly operated solenoid valves

• Combined control solenoid

• Pneumatic control valves
