Almost every industry uses valves for a wide range of applications. Valves are essential for the safe and efficient flow of liquids, gasses, and solid materials through a system. They are particularly important in applications that utilize hydraulic systems.
In hydraulic systems, valves are used to:
- Start or stop the flow of liquid
- Manage liquid flow and pressure
- Control the direction of liquid flow
- Throttle liquid flow rates
- Relieve liquid pressure
Uses for Hydraulic Valves
- Aerospace: Valves control the flow and pressure of hydraulic fluid to ensure precise and reliable operation of various aircraft components, such as landing gear retraction, flap movement, and brake systems.
- Automotive: Automobiles and other vehicles use valves to control the flow of hydraulic fluid in power steering, brake, and automatic transmission systems.
- Construction: In the construction industry, valves are used to control the movement of hydraulic cylinders and motors found in heavy machinery like excavators, bulldozers, tractors, forklifts, loaders, and cranes.
- Manufacturing: Valves control the hydraulic systems used in various manufacturing processes, such as metal forming and injection molding.
- Marine: Valves are used to manage the hydraulic systems vital for navigation and steering, propulsion systems, cargo handling, and to control various types of marine equipment.
- Mining: Valves are used to control the hydraulic systems of excavators, haul trucks, and other equipment used in mining operations.
- Oil and Gas: Valves regulate the flow of hydraulic fluid in drilling rigs and wellhead control systems and manage the flow of oil and gas through pipelines.
- Hydro Power Generation: Valves are used in hydropower plants to manage water flow, regulate turbine operations, and control dam operations.
