(1) Flow control with needle valve
The needle valve controls the opening of a small orifice in a channel with a bar-shaped needle, controlling the flow by changing the channel resistance. The valve thus acts as a resistance.
The flow changes when the pressure applied to the valve changes. Therefore, a pressure regulator is provided in the preceding stage as shown in Fig. A to make the pressure applied to the valve constant, thereby
obtaining constant flow. This is an inexpensive method which is commonly used when the pressure loss on the valve outlet side does not change. Use a simplified type, precision type, or bellows type needle valve according to the usage.

(2) Flow control with variable primary pressure type flow controller
The variable primary pressure (supply pressure) type flow controller is made by combining the needle valve (1) and a pressure regulator.
It can keep the flow constant even if the primary-side pressure changes.
(Fig. B).

(Fig. B).
(3) Flow control with variable secondary pressure type flow controller
In methods (1) and (2), the flow will change if the pressure loss of a load in the subsequent stage is large.
In that case, a variable secondary pressure (outlet-side pressure: load pressure) type flow controller is used to control flow according to the flow sheet shown in Fig. C.
This flow sheet is complete with respect to pressure change, and is used basically for our gas mixing equipment. The primary-side pressure is controlled by a regulator, and the flow controller immune to pressure changes on the secondary side enables flow control free of the influence of the primary and secondary pressure.

ReplyDeleteSS304 Fittings have read your thread, it is very informative and for me.I admire the valuable information you offer in your threads. Thanks for posting it..
ReplyDeleteBasically cavitation is a phenomenon that occurs during flow of a liquid in a closed channel such as a pipe. Normally when a liquid flows over any distance, there a drop in pressure – which is essential to maintain the flow.At some point this pressure drops much below even atmospheric pressure – particularly in case of water flowing in a pipe. When this happens water in the pipeline tends to evaporate. This water vapor forms bubbles within water body and these bubbles keep on popping up as well as collapsing. Any solid surface facilitates this process. as such surface of the pipe suffers maximum variation in pressure.
