⋅ Conductance C of the valve – (l/s bar ANR) (average value between the two test conditions);
⋅ Critical ratio b of the valve (average value between the two test conditions);
⋅ Valve coefficient Cv (l/s bar ANR) (average value between the two test conditions).
The pneumatic valve above controls the extension and retraction of a cylinder. The cylinder is a
double acting type with double rod. Neglecting the pressure drop between the valve and the
cylinder, the downstream pressure P2 of the valve can be considered equal to the pressure inside
the cylinder chambers. With P1 = 5 bar and ∆P= 2 bar (across the valve) calculate:
⋅ t IN (s);
⋅ t OUT (s);
