Unlike safety relief valves, pressure regulating valves operate more frequently. The Lee Company offers a “momentum-free” design concept for these applications. These valves compensate for momentum forces that upset the normal force balance of typical direct acting valves. The result is a valve that is stable throughout the operating range. These valves are available in a wide range of diameters and cracking pressures.
This miniature pressure relief valve is only .187” in diameter and .62” in length. This valve is ideally suited for hydraulic applications where a fast opening safety relief valve is needed to prevent system damage from pressure spikes. Minimum cracking pressures are available from 20 thru 100 psid. An intergral safety screen is available.
