Intro: A graph of your car’s idle speed shouldn’t resemble architectural plans for a new Cedar Point roller coaster. Once the car warms up to normal operating temperature, it should run in a smooth ...

Like so many of the core technologies integral to automated industrial operations—such as motors, drives, and I/O—valves don’t always receive the attention they deserve in the automation arena.

The committee will study current and potential methodologies and standards, including regulatory criteria, for deciding when an automatic shutoff valve, remote controlled valve or other equivalent ...

The ultraminiature PCFCD-1N1 pressure-compensated flow-control valve, with a low-friction diaphragm, is designed to maintain a constant flow rate, regardless of variations. The ultraminiature ...

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.

FLUID POWER CONNECTORS & COMPONENTS ULTRA-MINIATURE PRESSURE COMPENSATED FLOW CONTROL VALVE WITH LOW FRICTION DIAPHRAGM, BESWICK ENGINEERING CO. INC. Some applications need flow control valves that ...

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 ...

Cleaning the idle air control valve (IACV) on your vehicle periodically helps keep carbon and other particles from building up on the valve, which can negatively affect the operation of the car.
