HP HydroPower’s VM series direct-acting maximum pressure valves are built to last. Through the use of high-quality materials and rigorous manufacturing processes, our valves are designed to withstand the most demanding industrial conditions.
Some of the general and hydraulic characteristics of our valves include:
- Construction: poppet type, with cushioned poppet.
- Mounting type: cartridge or with threaded ports.
- Mounting position: any position.
- Flow direction: from port P to port S
- Operating temperature: -15°C – 80°C.
- Hydraulic fluid: min. oil according to DIN 51524 and 51525.
- Inlet pressure (port P): from 0 to 450bar (DN6 valves)/from 0 to 420bar (DN10 valves).
- Inlet pressure (port S): maximum 5 bar.
- Pressure setting range: divided into 5 ranges: from 7/10bar to 420/450bar.
- Fluid viscosity range: from 3cST to 380cST (from 1.2 to 50°E)/from 30cST to 38cST (from 4 to 5°E)
- Maximum flow rate: 25 l/min (DN6 valves) – 50 l/min (DN10 valves).
