The Hydraforce FC10-20A-8T-N (5410060) is a screw-in, cartridge-style, variable orifice hydraulic flow control valve designed with reverse flow check functionality. This model is engineered to increase its orifice value from fully closed to fully open through a counterclockwise adjustment rotation. The FC10-20A-8T-N features mechanisms that prevent adjustments from being backed out of the valve, allowing desired settings to be securely locked down. It incorporates hardened parts ensuring long-term durability and offers an aluminum knob as an optional feature. Additionally, it provides positive shutoff with a linear adjustment process and fits industry-common cavity VC102. This valve is robust in its specifications, supporting a pressure rating up to 3500 psi (241 bar), proof pressure of 5000 psi (345 bar), and a burst pressure of 13000 psi (896 bar). It facilitates a maximum flow rate of 12 gallons per minute at fully open position under 100 psi pressure. The operating fluid temperatures range from -40°C to +100°C with Buna N seals, and up to +204°C with fluorocarbon seals, ensuring versatility across various fluid management applications. The FC10-20A-8T-N also accommodates a broad range of fluid viscosities from 7.4 to 420 cSt and maintains maximum operating contamination levels as specified by ISO4406 standards. Weighing approximately 0.33 lb (0.15 kg), this valve is relatively lightweight yet robust in performance. Its internal wetted surface area spans about 14.9 inches, optimizing fluid interaction within the system. The unit's installation does not require orientation restrictions, making it adaptable for diverse hydraulic systems setups while maintaining high-efficiency levels and reliability in controlling fluid flow under varying pressures and conditions.
