Daniel Measurement and Control
Theory, Principle of Operation and Applications
This brochure has been prepared to provide a thorough understanding of the principle of operation and typical applications of the Daniel Control Valves.
The Daniel Valves operate on a basic hydraulic principle and are of the balanced-piston design, spring biased (loaded). The valves are self contained, pilot operated for most applications (some exceptions) and use the line product as their power source. The exceptions are valves with an external power operator that do not require line product to operate. (Ref. Models 531, 532, and 762 Series).

Section 1
AN INTRODUCTION TO BASIC HYDRAULICS
The study of hydraulics deals with the use and characteristics of liquids. Since the beginning of time, man has used fluids to ease his burden. It is not hard to imagine a caveman floating down a river, astride a log with his wife, and towing his children and other belongings aboard a second log with a rope made of twisted vines.
Earliest recorded history shows that devices such as pumps and water wheels were known in very ancient times. It was not, however, until the 17th century that the branch of hydraulics with which we are to be concerned first came into use. Based upon a principle discovered by the French scientist Pascal, it relates to the use of confined fluids in transmitting power, multiplying force and modifying motions.
Pascal’s Law simply stated, says this:
Pressure applied on a confined fluid is transmitted undiminished in all directions, and acts with equal force on equal areas, and at right angles to them.
This precept explains why a full glass bottle will break if a stopper is forced into the already full chamber. The liquid is practically non-compressible and transmits the force applied at the stopper throughout the container (Figure 1-1). The result is an exceedingly higher force on a larger area than the stopper. Thus, it is possible to break out the bottom by pushing on the stopper with a moderate force.
Perhaps it was the very simplicity of Pascal’s Law that prevented men from realizing its tremendous potential for some two centuries. Then, in the early stages of the industrial revolution, a British mechanic named Joseph Bramah utilized Pascal’s discovery in developing a hydraulic press.
PRESSURE (FORCE PER UNIT AREA) IS TRANSMITTED THROUGHOUT A CONFINED FLUID
The bottle is lled with a liquid, which is not
compressible.
A 10 pound force applied to a
stopper with a surface area of
one square in...
Results in 10 pounds of force on every square in (pressure)
of the container wall.
If the bottom has an area of 20 square inches and each square inch is pushed on by 10 pounds of force, the entire bottom receives a 200 pound push.
Figure 1-1

Technical Guide
DAN-LIQ-TG-44-rev0813 November 2013
Figure 1-2 shows how Bramah applied Pascal’s principle to the hydraulic press. The applied force is the same as on the stopper in Figure 1-1, and the small piston has the same one square inch area. The larger piston, has an area of 10 square inches. The large piston is pushed on with 10 pounds of force per square inch, so that it can support a total weight or force of 100 pounds.
It can easily be seen that the forces or weights which will balance with this apparatus are proportionate to the piston areas. Thus, if the output piston area is 200 square inches, the output force will be 2000 pounds, (assuming the same 10 pounds of push on each square inch). This is the operating principle of the hydraulic jack, as well as the hydraulic press.
It is interesting to note the similarity between this simple press and a mechanical lever (Figure 1-2). As Pascal had previously stated, force is to force, as distance is to distance.

Pressure Defined:
In order to determine the total force exerted on a surface, it is necessary to know the pressure or force on a unit of area. We usually express this pressure in “Pounds per Square Inch”, abbreviated psi. Knowing the pressure and the number of square inches of area on which it is being exerted, one can readily determine the total force.
(Force in Pounds = Pressure in psi x Area in Sq. In.)
How Pressure is Created:
Pressure results whenever the flow of a fluid is resisted. The resistance may come from (1) a load on an actuator, (2) a control valve or, (3) a restriction (or orifice) in piping. See Figure 1-3.
PRESSURE CAUSED BY RESTRICTION AND LIMITED BY PRESSURE CONTROL VALVE.

Pressure Indicates Work Load:
Figure 1-4 illustrates how pressure is generated by resistance of a load. It was noted that the pressure equals the force of the load divided by the piston area.
We can express this relationship by the general formula:
In this relationship: P is pressure in psi F is force in pounds A is area in square inches
From this we can see that an increase or decrease in the load will result in a like increase or decrease in the operating pressure. In other words - pressure is proportional to the load, and pressure gauge reading indicates the workload, in psi, at any given moment.
Pressure gauge readings normally ignore atmospheric pressure. That is, a standard gauge reads zero at atmospheric pressure. An absolute gauge reads 14.7 psi at sea level atmospheric pressure. Absolute pressure is usually designated “psia”.
Force is Proportional to Pressure and Area:
When a hydraulic cylinder is used to clamp or press, its output force can be computed as follows: F = P x A
Again: P is pressure in psi F is force in pounds A is area in square inches

Parallel Flow Paths
An inherent characteristic of liquids is that they will always take the path of least resistance. Thus, when two parallel flow paths offer different resistances, the pressure will increase only to the amount required to take the easier path.
In Figure 1-5 the oil has three possible flow paths. Since valve A opens at 10 psi, the oil will go that way and pressure will build up to only 10 psi. Should flow be blocked beyond A, pressure would build up to 20 psi, then oil would flow through B. There would be no flow through C unless the path through valve B should also become blocked.
Series Flow Paths
When resistances to flow are connected in a series, the pressures add up. Figure 1-6 shows the same valves as Figure 1-5, but connected in a series. Pressure gauges placed in the lines indicate the pressure normally required to open each valve plus back pressure from the valves down-stream. The pressure at the pump is the sum of the pressures required to open the individual valves.
The oil can choose 3 paths.
It first chooses path "A" because only 10 psi is required . A pressure gauge at the pump will read 10 psi.

Pressure Drop Through an Orifice
An orifice is a restricted passage in a hydraulic line or component, used to control flow or create a pressure difference (pressure drop).
In order for oil to flow through an orifice, there must be a pressure difference or pressure drop through the orifice. The term “drop” comes from the fact that the lower pressure is always downstream. Conversely, if there is no flow, there is no difference in pressure across the orifice.
An increase in pressure drop across an orifice will always be accompanied by an increase in flow.
If the flow is blocked beyond an orifice, the pressure will immediately equalize on both sides of the orifice in accordance with Pascal’s Law. This principle is essential to the operation of many control valves.
Note: A control valve is a variable orifice.

Flow and Pressure Drop
Whenever a liquid is flowing, there must be a condition of unbalanced force to cause motion. Therefore, when a fluid flows through a constant-diameter pipe, the pressure will always be slightly lower downstream than to any point upstream. The difference in pressure or pressure drop is required to overcome friction in the line.
Figure 1-7 illustrates pressure drop due to friction. The succeeding pressure drops, from maximum pressure to zero pressure, are shown as differences in head in succeeding vertical pipes.
Fluid Seeks A Level
When there is no pressure difference on a liquid (no flow) it is distributed equally in the pipes as shown in Figure 1-7. If the pressure changes the liquid levels rise until the weight is sufficient to make up the difference in pressure. The difference in height (head) in the case of oil is one foot per 0.4 psi. Thus, it can be seen that additional pressure difference will be required to cause a liquid to flow up a pipe or to lift the fluid, since the force due to the weight of the liquid must be overcome. In circuit design, naturally, the pressure required to move the oil mass and to overcome friction must be added to the pressure needed to move the load. In most applications, good design minimizes these pressure “drops” to the point where they become almost negligible.
Pressure is maximum here because of the head height of liquid.
FRICTION IN PIPES RESULTS IN A PRESSURE DROP
The lower level of liquid in these pipes is a measure of reduced pressure at points downstream from the source.
(P1 minus P5) equals maximum differential pressure available.

Section 2
PRESSURE VERSUS VARIABLE FORCE REQUIRED
Pressure, force, and area were discussed in the Pressure Defined section. It was stated that pressure indicates work load, and force is proportional to pressure and area.
The principle described for Figures 2-2 and 2-3 is the same for Figure 1-4, with the exception of the work load. It is, in this instance, a variable force (linear spring). The spring exerts 100 pounds of force or resistance in the full position of the power cylinder (Figure 2-2) and 50 pounds in the down position (Figure 2-3). The spring is linear in force; therefore, if the power cylinder were at 50% of stroke, the spring force would be 75 pounds (Figure 2-1).
Also, if the spring force were divided by the area in square inches of power cylinder piston, the answer would be the equivalent force of the spring in psi. Therefore, the force of the spring can be rated as 5 to 10 psi resistance.

Section 3
BASIC VALVE - NO CONTROLS
The Introduction to Basic Hydraulics covered the subjects of pressure, force and area and how the three are combined to perform various functions. Note the similarity between the spring loaded hydraulic cylinder in Figures 2-2 and 2-3 on Page 11, and the basic control valve in Figures 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3. P1 is similar to pump pressure, P2 is similar to downstream pressure, and P3 is similar to spring force. The Basic Control Valve uses the principles of hydraulics as described in Section 1, Introduction to Basic Hydraulics, and performs the various control functions illustrated and described in the following pages.
The valve as shown serves no useful purpose because it does not have a pilot control loop to regulate the pressure at (P3).
The purpose of these illustrations is to show the effects and force of the main valve spring, which is the total control force of the basic valve. All main valve springs are linear in force and are rated in psi.
The basic valve operates on a balanced piston principle and is spring biased (loaded). Since the area of the nose (P1 side) of the main valve piston is exactly the same as the spring side (P3 side), it can be seen that the main valve spring now becomes the differential force necessary to control the position of the main valve piston.
Three (3) different springs are applicable and selection is based on the intended service. These springs are:
Light - 4 to 6 psi force Medium - 5 to 10 psi force Heavy - 10 to 30 psi force
The first number given is seated force and the last is full open force.
CLOSED POSITION - The valve is closed because (P1) is less than the spring force in the seated position or; (P2) is greater than (P1).

Section 4
700 SERIES VALVES
Typical 700 Series Valve
This is the starting point for unlimited control applications. The basic valve now incorporates a pilot control loop, which is mandatory for it to function.
The basic valve operates on a balanced piston principle, spring biased (loaded). The term balanced piston means that the exposed area on the spring side (P3) of the piston and the bottom side (P1) are equal in area. The spring is the differential force that closes the piston when (P1) and (P3) pressures are equal.
By design, the valve serves as a check valve because there can be no reverse flow. It is possible, in some applications, to reverse flow through the pilot control loop, but this can be eliminated by installing a check valve in the X-port. To open the valve, the pressure against the bottom of the piston (P1) must exceed the pressure on the spring side of the piston (P3) plus spring force.
CLOSED POSITION - Pilot is closed. Y-port (P3) to Z-port (P2) is closed. X-port (P1) and Y-port (P3) pressures are balanced. The differential force created by the main valve spring, closes the piston and keeps it seated. Therefore, total pressure equals 40 psi @ (P1) and 45 psi @ (P3) or (P3 minus P1) - 5 psid.
The needle valve incorporated with the strainer controls the speed of the closure by controlling the flow through the X-port.

will not open unless the pressure drop across the valve (P1 minus P2) is slightly greater than
the force applied by the main valve spring. In a non-control state, the main valve is opened in a percentage directly proportional to (P1 minus P2).

Model 770 Differential Vapor Pressure Control (N.C.) Opens on increasing differential pressure Typical for LPG, NH3 or similar products
The Model 770 as illustrated is identical to the previously described 770 valve except it is shown as a vapor pressure control valve for products having high flash points such as: butane, propane, anhydrous ammonia or other products with similar characteristics.
When metering these products, the pressure at the meter must be higher than the vapor pressure of the product, otherwise it turns into a gaseous state resulting in meter damage due to overspeed plus inaccurate measurement and possible pump damage. The differential pressure between the meter inlet pressure and the vapor pressure (P4) is generally 10 to 30 psid, to assure the product is in a liquid state when it passes through the meter.
CLOSED POSITION - The pilot is closed. Vapor pressure (P4) plus pilot spring setting is greater than the line pressure (P1), indicating the pump is not running or sufficient differential pressure (P1 minus P4) is not available to overcome the pilot spring setting. Pilot is closed. Y-port (P3) to Z-port (P2) is closed. X-port (P1) and Y-port (P3) pressures become balanced. The main valve spring being the differential force, closes the piston and keeps it sealed.

Model 762, 763, 764, 765, 766 and 767 Gas Loaded Pressure Relief / Back Pressure Control Valves (N.C.) Open on increasing inlet pressure
These valves are normally closed and open upon increasing inlet pressure. They are used to relieve excess surge pressures
that may occur during a pipeline upset and can also be used to maintain a minimum back pressure for more efcient operating
conditions. These valves are direct acting and do not utilize pilots to operate. They incorporate an integral oil reservoir mounted
on the external surface of the valve cylinder head, which upon installation is partially lled with a light oil. Gas under pressure is
applied to the reservoir. The oil is a moveable barrier between the gas and the valve piston.
Principle of Operation
The valve is normally closed and opens upon increasing inlet pressure. Pressure applied to the nose of the piston is equally transmitted to the spring side of the piston. When the line pressure on the nose of the piston exceeds the gas pressure, the moveable barrier of oil compresses the gas and the valve opens.
As line pressure falls below the set point, the gas pressure, added to the spring pressure closes the valve and it remains closed as long as gas pressure is higher than line pressure. Opening and closing speeds are controlled by a check valve mounted to the internal surface of the cylinder head. Opening speed is relatively unrestricted which results in very fast opening response. Closing
speed is controlled by a xed orice in the check valve.
Typical Applications
A) Pipeline Pressure and Surge Relief (models 765, 766, 767)
Product movement by pipeline requires over-pressure protection. Response time to pressure rise is critical. These valves will respond very quickly and only relieve the necessary volume of liquid to decrease pipeline pressure back to or below set-point.
B) Back Pressure Control (models 762, 763)
These valves are ideally suited for back pressure control and minimum pressure drop. When line pressure exceeds the gas pressure, the valve will open and follow the CV curve for pressure loss.

Model 754 Rate of Flow Control (N.O.)
Closes on increasing differential pressure
A rate of flow or flow limiting valve is normally open and throttles toward a closed position on increasing differential pressure (P4 minus P1). It is a regulating or positioning type valve that does not require any outside power source to operate.
The pilot control is normally open. It is an adjustable spring loaded variable orifice in the Z-port. The pilot is piston operated, spring biased (loaded) with a differential pressure sensing chamber connected to two separate pressure sources.
Rate of flow valves are used for:
1. Limiting the maximum flow through meters.
2. Limiting the maximum flow through pumps, process streams, etc.
FULL OPEN - NO CONTROL - The pilot is full open. Differential pressure (P4 minus P1) is less than the pilot spring setting. Y-port (P3) is open to Z-port (P2). The valve is floating the stream and is not required to control.

MULTIPLE PILOTS (SERIES AND PARALLEL)
Model 710S750 Combination Solenoid On-Off and Pressure Reducing Control in Series
Both pilots have been illustrated as separate functions on a basic valve (Models 710 and 750). Now the pilots are combined on a single valve. This is the starting point for multiple control functions on one basic valve.
When pilots are in a series, all pilots must be open for the main valve to open, but should one pilot close, the main valve
will also close.
The advantage of multiple controls is to incorporate various functions on a single valve.
CLOSED POSITION - The solenoid pilot is closed (de-energized). Y-port (3) to Z-port (P2) is closed.
X-port (P1) and Y-port (P3) pressures are balanced. The main valve spring being the differential force, closes the piston and keeps it seated.

DIGITAL AND TWO-STAGE ELECTRIC SHUT-OFF VALVES
Model 788 DVC Digital Control Electric Shut-off Valves
These valves are normally closed (N.C.) and they will open only when both solenoids are energized. The valves are fail-safe as they close upon loss of power. They use the line product as the source of hydraulic power to open and close the main valve piston. An electrical supply controlled by an electronic preset is the source of power for energizing the two solenoids.
These valves are used mainly for batching and they provide a means of reducing the rate of flow on startup and before final shut­off of a predetermined delivery. This minimizes surges of pressure and line shock and assures + 1/4 gallon shut-off (sizes 2 inch
- 6 inch) of the preset volume.
The total system generally consists of three pieces of equipment: (1) a flowmeter, (2) electronic preset with digital control, and (3) a digital electric control valve. The electronic preset is the device used to set the predetermined volume of liquid that is to be delivered by the valve.
Operational Sequence With both solenoids de-energized, the main valve is closed as shown in Figure 6-1. The main valve can be infinitely positioned anywhere between 0 - 100% open by digital control of the solenoids. With both solenoids energized, as shown in Figure 6-3, the valve begins to open. It will only open to the programmed flow rate set in the electronic preset. Normally, the electronic preset is programmed to digitally control low flow start-up, maximum flow rate, low flow rate before shut-off and no flow. The electronic preset will automatically energize and de-energize the solenoids to position the main valve to limit the required flow rate. When the required flow rate is reached, the solenoids will be as shown in Figure 6-2. This hydraulically locks the main valve piston in position. Should flow increase, the valve will close slightly to adjust to the required flow rate. All of the positioning is done by digitally controlling the two solenoids as shown in Figure 6-1, 6-2 and 6-3.
CLOSED POSITION - The normally closed solenoid is closed. The normally open solenoid is open. Y-port (P3) to Z-port (P2) is closed. X-port (P1 and Y-port (P3) pressures are balanced. The main valve spring being the differential force, closes the piston and keeps it seated.

POWER CYLINDER OPERATED VALVES
Model 531, 535, 578 and 588 (N.C.) Pressure to Open and Model 532 and 536 (N.O.) Pressure to Close
Power cylinder operated valves can perform various functions. The power cylinder can be full open or closed or the pressure can be regulated for two-stage batch control or digital batch control.
All valves employ a bias spring in the power cylinder. There is no spring behind the main valve piston. The power cylinder spring requires 30 psi to make a full stroke. An optional spring to make a full stroke at 15 psi is available for selected applications.
These valves use the line product or an auxiliary supply pressure (pneumatic or hydraulic) to operate the power cylinder. The main valve piston and the power cylinder piston are of balanced design.
The valves are used in a variety of applications such as:
1. Automatic tank safety shut-off
2. Line block valve
3. Emergency shut-off or opening
4. Batching, single or two-stage operation, or digital batch control
The pressure drop across the valve is very low as it follows a Cv curve. Anytime the valve is closed, it is inherently a check valve without adding any additional controls. The main valve piston is balanced at all positions.
CLOSED POSITION - The differential pressure between (P1) and (P2) is less than the spring force of the power
cylinder spring. This indicates the pump is not running or insufficient differential pressure (P1 minus P2) to
overcome the spring force of the power cylinder spring. The power cylinder spring provides the differential
force to close the main valve piston and/or keep it seated.

Digital Control electric shut-off valves are normally closed (N.C.) and they will open only when both solenoids are energized. The valves are fail-safe as they close upon loss of auxiliary power medium. They use an auxiliary power source (typically regulated instrument air) to open and position the valve. An electrical supply controlled by an electronic preset is the source of power for energizing the two solenoids.
These valves are used mainly for batching and they provide a means of reducing the rate of flow on startup and before final shut­off of a predetermined delivery. This minimizes surges of pressure and line shock and assures ±1/4 gallon shut-off (sizes 2" - 6") of the preset volume.
The total system generally consists of three pieces of equipment: (1) a flowmeter, (2) electronic preset with digital control, and (3) a digital electric control valve. The electronic preset is the device used to set the predetermined volume off liquid that is to be delivered by the valve.
Operational Sequence
With both Solenoids de-energized, the main valve is closed as shown in Figure 7-5. The main valve can be infinitely positioned anywhere between 0-100% open by digital control of the solenoids. With both solenoids energized, as shown in Figure 7-7, the valve begins to open. It will only open to the programmed flow rate set in the electronic preset. Normally, the electronic preset is programmed to digitally control low flow start-up, maximum flow rate, low flow rate before shut-off and no flow. The electronic preset will automatically energize and de-energize the solenoids to position the main valve to limit the required flow rate. When the required flow rate is reached, the solenoids will be as shown in Figure 7-6. This pneumatically locks the power cylinder piston in position. Should flow increase, the valve will close slightly to adjust to the required flow rate. All of the positioning is done by digitally controlling the two solenoids as show in Figure 7-5, 7-6 and 7-7.
CLOSED POSITION - The normally closed solenoid is closed. The normally open solenoid is open, venting the
power cylinder pressure (P3) to atmosphere. The power cylinder spring provides the differential force to close the main valve piston and keep it seated. The closing speed needle valve controls how fast the valve closes or responds to a flow rate change.

TWO STAGE VALVES
Model 578 (N.C.) Two-stage Electric Shut-off Valve
Two-Stage Control electric shut-off valves are normally closed (N.C.) and they will open only when both solenoids are energized. The valves are fail-safe as they close upon loss of auxiliary power medium. They use an auxiliary power source (typically regulated instrument air) to open and position the valve for high and low flow. Flow limiting control is not available. An electrical supply controlled by a preset is the source of power for energizing the two solenoids.
These valves are used mainly for batching and they provide a means of reducing the rate of flow on startup and before final shut-off of a predetermined delivery. This minimizes surges of pressure and line shock and assures ±1/4 gallon shut-off (sizes 2" - 6") of the preset volume.
The total system consists of four pieces of equipment: (1) a flow meter, (2) a preset counter, (3) dual sequencing switches, and (4) a two-stage electric shut-off valve. The preset counter is the device used to set the predetermined volume of liquid that is to be controlled by the valve. The valve closes in two stages. The first stage closure reduces the flow rate through the valve to approximately 10% to 20% of the rated capacity of the meter. The second stage closes the valve when the predetermined volume of liquid has passed through the meter. See Figures 7-8, 7-9 and 7-10.
CLOSED POSITION - The normally closed solenoid is closed. The normally open solenoid is open, venting the
power cylinder pressure (P3) to atmosphere. The power cylinder spring provides the differential force to close
the main valve piston and keep it seated. The closing speed needle valve controls the closing speed.

When the valve reaches a predetermined low flow rate equal to 10% to 20% of the maximum flow rate, the limit switch
is activated resulting in the normally open solenoid closing. This pneumatically locks the valve in a fixed
position until the preset commands the valve to close. (Low flow start-up is available as an option).
