What are automatic control valves and breather valves?

There are many circumstances where the industries where industry owners and workers have to deal with highly pressurized liquid and gases. In these circumstances, they have to deal with the pressure inside the sealed containers and chambers.

For controlling the internal pressure of a liquid or gas you will find a breather valve or a pressure control valve being fitted within the tubes and vessels.

So what exactly is an Automatic control Valve? Is it the same as a breather valve? You will find your answers here.

Knowing about automatic control valves Automatic control valves operate using hydraulic actuators and gauges. These control the pressure of the liquid or the gas within the vessels and chambers.

Hydraulic valves or hydraulic pilots are actuators that will automatically close or open up the valve based on the pressure of the liquid or the gas within the containers.

Thus they are safety equipment that ensures that the pressure and other parameters of the gas or liquid are within the safety zones.

Breather valves have the same function as pressure relief valves and ensure that the excess pressure or vacuum buildup is not there within the containers.

The breather valves also help to significantly reduce the weight of containers and vessels containing gases and liquids in the vessels thereby reducing the cost of shipping.
