got a system that needs about 80 LPM, is this valve in the right ballpark for that kind of flow
Question by: Gary H on Mar 12, 2026, 11:21 AM
For flow capacity, it is rated at 80 liters per minute, so it matches a setup that’s targeting roughly 80 LPM.

flow rate on this thing is listed at 80 LPM -- is that enough to keep up on a machine tool setup running pretty steady through a shift?
Question by: Glen M on Nov 16, 2025, 11:52 AM
For machine tool applications, 80 liters per minute is a solid working capacity. That flow rate is well within the range most machine tool circuits call for, and this valve is specifically rated and listed for machine tool use. Running it through a full shift should not be a problem as long as your system is sized to stay within that 80 LPM ceiling. Push past that and you'll start seeing pressure drop and heat that nobody wants.
