 Types of control vales
1. Direction control valve

2. Pressure control valves

3. Flow control valves

 Direction Control Valves
The function of a DCV is to control the direction of fluid flow in any hydraulic

system. A DCV does this by changing the position of internal movable parts .
Types Of Direction Control Valves
1. Based on construction

Poppet or seat valves Sliding spool valves

Rotary valve
2. Based on the Number of ports
2/2 Spool Type DC valve
3/2 Spool Type DC valve
3/2 seat type
4/2 spool type DC valve
 Pressure Control Valve
Pressure-control valves are found in virtually
every hydraulic system, and they assist in a
variety of functions, from keeping system
pressures safely below a desired upper limit to
maintaining a set pressure in part of a circuit.

• Pressure relief valve

• Pressure reducing valve
• Pressure sequencing valve
 Pressure Relief Valve
The relief valve is designed or set to open at a predetermined set pressure to
protect pressure vessels and other equipment from being subjected to
pressures that exceed their design limits.
