Abstract: This chapter introduces various valves that are used to control, e.g., flow direction, flow amount or pressure level at various points in a fluid power system. A flow model for each valve is setup from the orifice equation and Newton's second law modelling the moving parts in each valve. Piloted valves request a model including some continuity equations describing pilot pressures. Throughout the chapter several illustrations of industry valves are included. Valves introduced are include check valve, on/off valve, needle throttle valve, pressure compensated flow control valve, proportional valve, servo valve, pressure compensated proportional valve, pressure relief valve, pressure reduction valve, pressure control valve.
