Product catalog summary
Performance Specifications
The document outlines the performance specifications of the 250 Inverse Lee Shuttle Valve. Key performance metrics include:
  • Unbalanced Flow: Maximum of 290 Lohms, with a minimum flow of 0.31 GPM at 25 psid for both Port A to Port C and Port B to Port C.
  • Anti-Cavitation Flow: Maximum of 260 Lohms, with a minimum flow of 0.35 GPM at 25 psid for Port C to Port A and Port C to Port B.
  • Maximum Leakage: 5 drops/minute at 50 psid for both Port A to Ports C & B and Port B to Ports C & A.
  • Nominal System Pressure: Up to 5000 psi.
  • Nominal Weight: 8 grams.
Product Description
The 250 Inverse Shuttle Valve is designed for high-pressure applications up to 5000 psi. It features stainless steel construction for durability and is 100% tested for reliable performance. The valve is endurance tested to 250,000 cycles.
Materials
The valve is constructed from various stainless steel grades:
  • Body Rear and Front: 304 Cres AMS 5639
  • Body Center and Poppets: 15-5PH Cres AMS 5659
  • Pin: 17-4 PH AMS 5643
  • Compression Seal: Polyimide
Lohms Laws and Liquid Flow Formula
The document introduces the concept of Lohms, a unit of fluid resistance analogous to Ohms in electricity. Lohms simplify hydraulic computations by compensating for discharge coefficients and dimensional tolerances. The liquid flow formula provided includes compensation factors for liquid density and viscosity, applicable to various liquids and conditions. The units constant (K) is used to standardize pressure and flow parameters.
Liquid Flow Units Constant K
The document provides a chart for volumetric and gravimetric flow units, detailing the units constant K for different pressure units (psi, bar, kPa) and flow units (GPM, L/min, ml/min, in3/min, PPH, gm/min).

250 INVERSE LEE SHUTTLE™ VALVE-1

PRECISION MICROHYDRAULICS PRODUCT DATA SHEET 250 INVERSE LEE VALVE The Lee Company’s new 250 Inverse Shuttle Valve is the latest addition to Lee’s line of miniature inverse shuttle valves. The poppets in this shuttle valve are designed to allow the lower inlet pressure to flow while the higher inlet pressure is blocked. This new shuttle valve is ideal for high pressure applications with system pressures up to 5000 PSI. The metal components are constructed entirely of stainless steel for durability and long life. Each Inverse Shuttle Valve is 100% tested and inspected to ensure reliable, consistent performance.

LOHMS LAWS (liquids) Every engineer will be interested in our simple system of defining the fluid resistance of Lee hydraulic components. Just as the OHM is used in the electrical industry, we find that we can use a liquid OHM or "Lohm" to good advantage on all hydraulic computations. When using the Lohm system, you can forget about coefficients of discharge and dimensional tolerances on drilled holes. These factors are automatically compensated for in the Lohm calculations, and confirmed by testing each component to establish flow tolerances. The resistance to flow of any fluid control component can...
