Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document is a product data sheet for the 500 Zero Leak Lee Chek Valve by The Lee Company, a leader in precision microhydraulics. This valve is part of a series known for its zero leakage capabilities and is designed for high-pressure applications.

Specifications
The 500 Zero Leak Lee Chek Valve weighs 24 grams and has a diameter of 0.500 inches. It can flow 3.5 GPM at 25 psid and is constructed entirely of stainless steel for durability. The valve is available in both forward and reverse flow configurations and can handle system pressures up to 5000 PSI. It is 100% tested and inspected to ensure performance and is endurance tested to 250,000 cycles.

Materials
The valve components are made from 15-5PH CRES and 17-7PH CRES materials, with elastomeric seats available in fluorocarbon or EPDM. All parts are passivated per AMS 2700.

Performance
The valve is designed to operate with zero leakage from 5 to 5000 psid and has a maximum full open restriction of 25 Lohms. It is tested on MIL-PRF-83282 at 85°F.

Lohms Laws
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 resistance to flow is expressed in Lohms, with 1 Lohm allowing a flow of 100 gallons per minute of water with a 25 psi pressure drop at 80°F.

Liquid Flow Formula
Formulas are provided to extend Lohm laws to various liquids, accounting for density and viscosity. The units constant (K) is used to eliminate the need for unit conversions.

Tools
The Lee Company offers a free Hydraulic and Pneumatic Flow Calculator slide rule to assist with Lohm calculations.

Conclusion
The 500 Zero Leak Lee Chek Valve is a robust, reliable solution for high-pressure applications, offering zero leakage and ease of integration into hydraulic systems.

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...
