  2. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    [1] To reduce the effect of these load disturbances, sensors and transmitters collect information about the process variable and its relationship to some desired set point. A controller then processes this information and decides what must be done to get the process variable back to where it should be after a load disturbance occurs.

  3. Regulator (automatic control) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regulator_(automatic_control)

    Regulators can be designed to control anything from gases or fluids, to light or electricity. Speed can be regulated by electronic, mechanical, or electro-mechanical means. Such instances include; Electronic regulators as used in modern railway sets where the voltage is raised or lowered to control the speed of the engine

  4. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    The final flow rate may be adjusted at the torch. The regulator assembly usually has two pressure gauges, one indicating cylinder pressure, the other indicating delivery pressure. Inert gas shielded arc welding also uses gas stored at high pressure provided through a regulator. There may be a flow gauge calibrated to the specific gas. [citation ...

  5. Flow control (fluid) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_(fluid)

    Flow control is a field of fluid dynamics. It involves a small configuration change to serve an ideally large engineering benefit, like drag reduction, lift increase, mixing enhancement or noise reduction.

  6. Regulator - Wikipedia

    Regulators, a faction in the Regulator Movement (1765–1771) in Provincial North Carolina; Regulator, a member of the Shaysites, followers of Daniel Shays during Shays' Rebellion (1786) Regulators, a faction in the Regulator–Moderator War (1839–1844) Regulator, a vigilante organized in response to the Banditti of the Prairie (1835–1848)

  7. Mass flow controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_controller

    The flow rate is specified as a percentage of its calibrated full scale flow and is supplied to the MFC as a voltage signal. Mass flow controllers require the supply gas or liquid to be within a specific pressure range. Low pressure will starve the MFC of fluid and cause it to fail to achieve its setpoint. High pressure may cause erratic flow ...

  8. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    A simplified version of the definition is: The k v factor of a valve indicates "The water flow in m 3 /h, at a pressure drop across the valve of 1 kgf/cm 2 when the valve is completely open. The complete definition also says that the flow medium must have a density of 1000 kg/m 3 and a kinematic viscosity of 10 −6 m 2 /s, e.g. water. [clarify]

  9. Thorpe tube flowmeter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorpe_Tube_Flowmeter

    A Thorpe tube flowmeter, a type of variable-area flowmeter, or a rotameter, is an instrument used to directly measure the flow rate of a gas in medical instruments. It consists of a connection to a gas source, a needle valve opened and closed by turning an attached dial for control of flow rate, a float resting in a clear tapered tube, and an ...
