2. Pilot-operated relief valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot-operated_relief_valve

   The pressure at which the control pilot relieves is the functional set pressure of the PORV. When the pilot valve reaches set pressure it opens and releases the pressure from the dome. The piston is then free to open and the main valve exhausts the system fluid. The control pilot opens either to the main valve exhaust pipe or to atmosphere ...

3. Check valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Check_valve

   A check valve, non-return valve, reflux valve, retention valve, foot valve, or one-way valve is a valve that normally allows fluid (liquid or gas) to flow through it in only one direction. [1] Check valves are two-port valves, meaning they have two openings in the body, one for fluid to enter and the other for fluid to leave. There are various ...

4. Pilot valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pilot_valve

   Pilot valves are useful because they allow a small and easily operated feed to control a much higher pressure or higher flow feed, which would otherwise require a much larger force to operate; indeed, this is even useful when a solenoid is used to operate the valve. Pilot valves are often used in critical applications (e.g., emergency and SIS ...

5. Pneumatic circuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumatic_circuit

   In general, valves are designated as 2/2 DCV, 3/2 DCV, 5/2 DCV, 5/3 DCV etc., in which the first number indicates number of ports and second number indicates number of positions. To change the position, the valves are generally actuated by: Pedal operated; Push button operated; Spring operated; Solenoid operated; By using the pneumatic source ...

6. Angle seat piston valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angle_seat_piston_valve

   Pneumatic valves are operated by a pilot medium under pressure, usually compressed air but also oil or water. The valve is equipped with a pneumatic actuator supplied by a three-way solenoid valve. The pressure of the pilot medium enters the actuator cylinder and acts on the piston, which allows the seal to open or to close through the stem.

7. Air-operated valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air-operated_valve

   An air-operated valve, also known as a pneumatic valve, is a type of power-operated pipe valve that uses air pressure to perform a function similar to a solenoid. As air pressure is increased, the compressed air starts to push against the piston or diaphragm walls which causes the valve to actuate. Whether the valve opens or closes depends on ...
