In hydraulic systems, lubrication systems, and even automotive engines, "clean oil" is the cornerstone of reliable operation. To filter out contaminants from oil, two common devices are used: oil filters and strainers. While often grouped under the umbrella term "filters" in Chinese, they serve distinct roles in engineering applications. This article dissects their differences across multiple dime...

Gate valves are a popular choice in many industries for specific types of applications. Here’s why they are commonly used: 1. Full Flow or Isolation Gate valves are ideal for situations where a full, unobstructed flow or complete shutoff is required. When fully opened, the gate valve allows fluid to pass through with minimal restriction, which helps to reduce pressure loss. This makes them particu...

1. What are the three main factors to consider when selecting an actuator? 1) The actuator’s output must exceed the valve's load and be appropriately matched. 2) When checking standard combinations, ensure that the allowable pressure differential specified for the valve meets process requirements. For high pressure differentials, calculate the unbalanced forces on the valve core. 3) Consider wheth...
