FEATURE FLOW & LEVEL CONTROL
PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE INSERT FOR CRITICAL FLOW APPLICATIONS
Finding an effective solution for controlling high upstream hydraulic pressure in applications where a constant volume pump is supplying more flow than the system requires can be a challenge
E
xamples of critical flow systems where excess flows can be a serious
problem include flight controls, steering systems and flow dividers in aerospace, aviation, F1 motorsport and oil exploration applications. However, a new Hi-Damped Pressure Relief Valve Insert introduced by miniature component specialists the Lee Company provides a solution to situations where high or spiking pressure is prevalent. Standard relief valves are likely to
suffer from issues such as instability, erosion and structural damage and all of these undesirable effects have consequences in terms of maintenance, repair, not to mention cost and, potentially, safety. These are the issues which led the designers at the Lee Company to make dual hydraulic dampening chambers a central feature

9 grams, up to a maximum of 21 grams. Like all Lee’s valves the HD PRI is 100
per cent endurance tested to a minimum of 100,000 cycles and inspected to ensure reliable and consistent performance.

and Seat ensure optimum durability. They are available in forward and reverse relief flow directions and offer a range of cracking pressures for 3000, 4000 and 5000 psi systems, with system peak pressures up to 6750 psi. Set inside a compact footprint to meet
the demands of precision micro- hydraulic systems, the HDI PR is available in 7.14mm and 9.53mm diameter options, with a nominal weight as low as
