375 SPRING BIASED SHUTTLE VALVE

Product catalog summary
Materials:
The product is constructed with high-grade materials including 15-5PH CRES for the body, 440C CRES for the poppet, 17-7PH CRES for the spring, polyimide for the compression seal, and 17-4PH CRES for the pin. These materials ensure durability and performance under high pressure.
Performance Specifications:
The 375 Spring Biased Shuttle Valve is designed for system pressures up to 5000 psi and weighs only 12 grams. It features all-metal components made from stainless steel, ensuring longevity and reliability. The valve is 100% tested and inspected, with endurance testing up to 250,000 cycles and low leakage rates.
Flow and Pressure Details:
The valve allows a flow rate of 2 GPM minimum at 50 psid for both normal and emergency operations, with a shuttling pressure range of 15 to 40 psid. Leakage is minimal, with a maximum of 5 drops per hour at 5000 psid after a 2-minute wait.
Lohms Laws and Liquid Flow:
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 document provides formulas for calculating flow resistance using Lohms, applicable to various liquids and conditions, with compensation factors for liquid density and viscosity.
Liquid Flow Formulas:
Formulas are provided for both volumetric and gravimetric flow units, with specific constants for different pressure units (psi, bar, kPa). The units constant (K) is used to eliminate the need for unit conversion in calculations.

375 SPRING BIASED SHUTTLE VALVE-1

product data sheet375 SPRING BIASED SHUTTLE VALVE The Lee Company’s new 375 Spring Biased Shuttle Valve is the latest addition to Lee’s line of miniature spring biased shuttle valves. The poppet in this shuttle valve is biased so that the emergency port (E) is normally closed, and the normal (N) and service (S) ports are connected. This new shuttle valve is ideal for high pressure applications with system pressures up to 5000 psi. For added installation flexibility, the 375 Spring Biased Shuttle Valve is available with the biased port (Port E) at either end of the valve. The metal components are constructed entirely of stainless steel for durability and long life. Each spring biased shuttle valve is 100% tested and inspected to ensure reliable, consistent performance. ■ Designed for System Pressures up to 5000 psi ■ Weighs only 12 grams ■ All Metal Components Made from Stainless Steel ■ 100% Tested and Inspected ■ Endurance Tested to 250,000 Cycles ■ Low Leakage The lee company, 2 pettipaug rd., p.o. box 424, Westbrook, ct 06498-0424 Tel: 860-399-6281 Fax, Order Entry: 860-399-7058 Fax, Technical Information: 860-399-7037 Web: www.TheLeeCo.com

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...
