Product catalog summary
Product Overview
The 687 Side Exit Flosert by The Lee Company is a miniature flow regulating valve designed for high-pressure hydraulic applications, supporting system pressures up to 5000 psi. It is constructed entirely of stainless steel, ensuring durability and longevity, with a nominal weight of 48 grams. The valve offers regulated flow rates from 1.5 to 5.0 GPM and is pressure compensated to maintain constant flow across varying pressure differentials. Each unit is 100% tested and inspected for reliable performance.
Specifications
  • Regulated Flow Rates: 1.5 to 5.0 GPM
  • System Pressure: Up to 5000 psi
  • Flow Tolerance: +/- 10%
  • Weight: 48 grams
  • Endurance: Tested to 100,000 cycles minimum
Materials
  • Body: 316 or 316L CRES (AMS 5648 or AMS 5653)
  • Retainer: 304 CRES (AMS 5639)
  • Piston: 440C CRES (AMS 5630)
  • Orifice Plate: 303 CRES (QQ-S-763C)
  • Spring: 17-7PH CRES (AMS 5678)
  • Optional Shims: 300 Series CRES (ASTM A 666)
Performance
The valve's performance is characterized by a regulated flow tolerance of +/-10% and a nominal system pressure capability of up to 5000 psi. All CRES parts are passivated for enhanced performance.
Lee Lohm Laws
The document introduces the concept of Lohms, a unit of fluid resistance analogous to Ohms in electrical systems. 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 at a 25 psi pressure drop at 80°F.
Liquid Flow Formula
Formulas are provided to apply Lohm laws to various liquids, considering density and viscosity. These formulas are adaptable to different pressure and temperature conditions, with a units constant (K) to simplify conversions.
Units Constant K
Tables are provided for volumetric and gravimetric flow units, detailing constants for different pressure units (psi, bar, kPa) and flow units (GPM, L/min, ml/min, in3/min, PPH, gm/min).

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...
