Valve

AI Thread Summary

A valve is needed that can pressurize a system, maintain pressure temporarily, and then exhaust it on command. A regular gate valve is suggested as a potential solution, depending on the size of the pipe or tubing used. An instrument valve may also be suitable for this application. The requirements emphasize portability, compactness, and operation at low pressures. Selecting the right valve will depend on specific system dimensions and pressure needs.

I need a valve that will pressurize a system, then leave the system pressurized for a time, then exhaust the pressure on command. I need it to be easily portable and quite small, and will run at pretty low pressures. What kind of valve would do this for me?

A regular gate valve will work just fine. depends how small your pipe/tubing is. maybe just an instrument valve

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
