As the world advances and grows so does technology. Engineering has allowed us to perform energy intensive duties with greater ease. It is no secret that the Oil and Gas industry is rapidly making the transition from manually operating functions in a hazardous environment to remotely from a climate-controlled room with less hands and labor… Read More
Guidelines for how to properly size a KR to an SV
PacSeal Hydraulics offers six different SV directional control valve sizes (SV-12, SV-25, SV-50, SV-100, SV-150, and SV-200) and eight different KR pressure regulator sizes (KR-12, KR-38, KR-75, KR-100, KR-140, KR-150, KR-175, and KR-200). As you can see below in Table 1 and Table 2, there is some overlap. In plain terms, the KR-38 can work… Read More
PRODUCT BULLETIN: SV-150 Directional Control Valve and Kit Selection and Identification
Explanation of Low Torque Operation In 2012, we modified the SV-150, 4-way valve to lower the shifting torque. This allows operation at elevated working pressures. The high torque became an issue with current Shear-Ram-Boosters when operating at 3000 psi hydraulic pressure and 80 psi minimum air pilot, which was marginal with a 4” actuator cylinder… Read More
PRODUCT UPDATE: Obtain Greater Regulated Output Range with the Universal KR Failsafe Actuator
If you have experimented with the regulated output range between the manual and the failsafe actuator operators, perhaps you have noticed that one can achieve a much higher output than the other. Perhaps you have been confused about whether you should buy the “HP” or the “LP” version to achieve your BOP control system’s pressure… Read More
