Development of Fixed Two-Way Restrictor Valves for Use on Military Aircraft

Abstract

Standardization of a fixed two-way 3000 psi restrictor valve, which would be reasonably independent of fluid viscosity changes, was the main object of the development. All tests were conducted at the Wright Air Development Center by the Hydraulics and Pneumatics Section of the Mechanical Branch of the Aircraft Laboratory. The tests and development resulted in an orifice type restrictor valve with protective filters for .067 inch diameter orifices and smaller and a restrictor valve without filters for orifices above .067 diameter. A range of interchangeable standard orifice diameters is a feature of the new valve design. For optimum standardization, it is recommended that one type assembly be used, with unions or adaptors as applicable, for the small orifices needing filters and a larger size type for the larger orifices, not requiring filters.
