  2. Larner–Johnson valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larner–Johnson_valve

    At intermediate positions, pressure in the two chambers is balanced and the valve remains part-open. This depends on the piston size, the pressure reduction downstream and the flows through the two control valves. The pilot valve gives a proportional control over main valve flowrate, with the opening being controlled, slow and gradual. If the ...

  3. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure, temperature, and liquid level.

  4. Mass flow controller - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_flow_controller

    All mass flow controllers have an inlet port, an outlet port, a mass flow sensor and a proportional control valve. The MFC is fitted with a closed loop control system which is given an input signal by the operator (or an external circuit/computer) that it compares to the value from the mass flow sensor and adjusts the proportional valve ...

  5. Piping and instrumentation diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piping_and_instrumentation...

    In the process industry, a standard set of symbols is used to prepare drawings of processes. The instrument symbols used in these drawings are generally based on International Society of Automation (ISA) Standard S5.1; The primary schematic drawing used for laying out a process control installation. They usually contain the following information:

  6. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    The inlet pressure gauge will indicate this pressure. The gas then passes through the normally open pressure control valve orifice and the downstream pressure rises until the valve actuating diaphragm is deflected sufficiently to close the valve, preventing any more gas from entering the low pressure side until the pressure drops again.

  7. Tesla valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tesla_valve

    (c) and (d) are zoomed-in images Schematic of a Tesla-type D-valve. A Tesla valve, called a valvular conduit by its inventor, is a fixed-geometry passive check valve. It allows a fluid to flow preferentially in one direction, without moving parts. The device is named after Nikola Tesla, who was awarded U.S. patent 1,329,559 in 1920 for its ...

  8. Schrader valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schrader_valve

    The Schrader valve is used on virtually all automobile tires and motorcycle tires and most wider-rimmed bicycle tires.In addition to tube and tubeless tires, Schrader valves of varying diameters are used on many refrigeration and air conditioning systems to allow servicing, including recharging with refrigerant; by plumbers conducting leak-down pressure tests on pipe installations; as a ...

  9. Mechanical systems drawing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanical_systems_drawing

    The assembly drawing typically includes three orthographic views of the system: overall dimensions, weight and mass, identification of all the components, quantities of material, supply details, list of reference drawings, and notes. Assembly drawings detail how certain component parts are assembled. [2]
