FLOW CONTROL VALVE, NON-PRESSURE COMPENSATED

A valve used to cause a variable pressure drop in a fluid passage, thus potentially reducing the amount of fluid that may pass through the passage regardless of the pressure level at the inlet of the valve. Varying pressures at the inlet of the valve will change the flow capacity. Often fitted with a check valve that permits free flow of fluid in the opposite direction.
