Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flow regulator?
A flow regulator restricts and minimises the amount of liquid flowing through a hydraulic system. Irrespective of pressure fluctuations, these flow regulators ensure a virtually constant flow rate.
What is water hammering?
Water hammering occurs in any piping system where valves control the flow of liquids or steam. It is a result of a high-pressure shockwave that creates a knocking noise when a fluid in motion is forced to change direction or stop abruptly.
Why is filtration needed in control valves?
Proper filtration ensures the long service life of control valves against contaminated water flow. Particulates, such as asbestos, rust, sediment and dirt can clog the valve components and result in valve failure.
