Load pressure compensation

Measures which keep constant the level of what is passing through a throttle in terms of flow rate, regardless of the pressure difference which applies to it (flow control valve). Continuously adjustable valves are combined for this purpose with a pressure compensator, which can be arranged at the inlet or the outlet (Figure L 8).
