Pressure Reducing Valves in Hydraulic system

Valves are considered to be the essential components in the hydraulic system. A valve that maintains lower pressures in the hydraulic system is called a pressure-reducing valve. Valves are considered to be the crucial components in the hydraulic system. A valve that maintains lower pressures in the hydraulic system is called a pressure-reducing valve. It determines the upstream main system pressures. A pressure-reducing valve is an open, two-way valve that allows system pressure fluid to flow it until a set pressure is achieved downstream. Pressure reducing valves then shifts to throttle flow into the branch. SKG Pneumatics is the best pneumatic company that is the largest suppliers of industrial valves in Delhi.

Basic components of Pressure reducing valves

The main components of pressure reducing valves include Adjusting screw, Adjusting spring, Diaphragm, Inlet port, Valve Disk, Valve stem and Outlet port.

Difference between pressure safety valve and pressure relief valve

Sometimes people confuse with similar terms pressure safety valves and pressure relief valves. Even though pressure safety valve or pressure relief valve sounds identical but they are different altogether. The difference is that pressure safety valves have a manual lever to activate the valve in case of emergency. However, most Pressure relief valves are spring operated.

Hydraulic pressure control using Pressure release valve

The pressure at which the valve begins to open is called crackling pressure of the valve. However, the pressure at which the relief valve is completely open is full flow pressure. The difference between the crackling pressure and flow pressure is called pressure override.

There is always a risk to life, property and environment while using a hydraulic system. That is why the safety relief valve is required to protect the hydraulic system against overpressure so that the system does not fail.

Classification of the safety relief valve

A type of valve which opens and closes through valve disc due to increase and decrease of pressure, thereby controlling the discharge is called safety valve. They are classified into

  • Low Lift Safety Relief Valve
  • Full Lift Safety Relief Valve
  • Full Bore Safety Relief Valve

SKG Pneumatics is the leading pressure control valve suppliers in IndiaThe company manufactures different types of valves that are used for several purposes. It is also the largest suppliers of industrial valves in Delhi. The company has been manufacturing valves of various types for decades. The company has its office in New Delhi, but it supplies valves in all states of India.
