This paper describes a new principle for pilot-operated hydraulic relief valves. The new, patented feature enables pressure relief valves to not only limit a pressure differential, but also to limit ...

These graphs compare the pressure/flow characteristics of orifice and capillary restrictors. The characteristic impedance of an orifice restrictor does not vary linearly, so it will not always match ...

Showing off the 3D-printed hydraulics system. (Credit: Indeterminate Design, YouTube) Hydraulics are incredibly versatile, but due to the pressures at which they operate, they are also rather ...

When needed, surge tanks can provide a critical feature to the hydraulic design of hydropower projects. Principally, they can mitigate the overpressure effects of pressure transients or water hammer ...
