Flow control valves are divided into:
With a throttle valve, the greater the pressure difference, the greater the volumetric flow rate, since the volumetric flow rate depends on the differential pressure at the throttle point.
In contrast, a flow regulator (volume control valve) operates using pressure compensation. This ensures that the set volumetric flow rate remains unchanged even if the pressure level across the valve changes.
Festo offers a wide range of flow control valves for industrial and process automation. Discover our portfolio of flow control valves: throttle valves, one-way flow control valves and time delay valves.
