Hydraulic Pressure Control Valve

Pressure control valves are used to control and regulate pressure in fluid power systems. They are often globe-shaped and designed with flanged ends to allow for ease of maintenance. The valve is smaller than the line in which it is attached. This design feature prevents the valve from throttling, which would cause the seat to wear too quickly. In hydraulic systems pressure regulators are used to unload the system and to maintain and regulate pressure at the desired values.
