Fixed Orifice Flow Controls provide free flow in one direction and Restricted
(metered) flow in the reverse direction. They are standard Kep-O-seal® or Kepsel® check
valves, equipped with a calibrated orifice drilled through the valve poppet
nose. Kepner's bubble-tight Flexible
Seal Seat™ ensures
that the reverse flow is precisely controlled by confining it to the calibrated
orifice. Such valves are often used in charging lines for cylinders, containers,
or accumulators where it is desired to rapidly charge and then bleed back the
charged fluid at a pre-determined rate. These valves handle many other applications.
- Generous flow passages allow full free-flow with minimal pressure drop
- Metered reverse flow
- Tamperproof internal orifice
- Rugged and dependable
- See Applications for selection/ limitation notes about O-Ring and Valve materials
- Fixed Orifice Flow Control Restrictor sizes and specifications are the
same as those shown for the standard Kep-O-seal® or Kepsel® check
valves, except for cracking pressure and internal leakage which obviously
do not apply.
- The valve orifice is drilled to customer's specifications. Test data
and flow calibration based on Air or MIL-H-5606 Hydraulic Oil can be provided.
