Reducing valve basic performance and design standards
1) Pressure regulating range: it refers to the adjustable range of
Reducing Valve output pressure P2, the required accuracy need to be
reached in this context. The pressure regulating range mainly relates to
the stiffness of the pressure regulating spring.
(2) Pressure characteristics: it refers to when the flow g is the fixed
value, due to input pressure fluctuation to cause output pressure
fluctuation characteristics. The smaller output pressure fluctuation the
better reducing valve characteristics. The output pressure must be less
than the input pressure certain value- it basically does not change
with the input pressure
(3) Flow characteristics: it refers to when the input pressure is
fixed, the output pressure changes with the change of output flow g.
When the flow g changes, the smaller output pressure changes is better.
Generally the lower the output pressure, it changes litter with output
flow change fluctuations.
