DEFINITION

Classification: 137/488

(under subclass 485) Apparatus in which the means sensing a change in fluid condition controls the effectiveness of a fluid pressure which is employed for controlling the operation of the flow controlling valve.

(1) Note. The source of fluid pressure for operating the flow controlling valve may be external or may be the main flow line.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

105, for suction operated pilot controlled valves where the pilot valve is itself responsive to line suction. These are mainly milker pulsators.
