Class Information
Number: 166/321
Name: Wells > Valves, closures or changeable restrictors > Fluid operated > Fluid pressure biased to open position position
Description: Devices in which fluid pressure acts on a surface of the valve to urge the valve to open position. The fluid acting on the valve may be the flow line fluid acting on surfaces of the valve of unequal areas or the fluid may be a control fluid distinct from the flow fluid.
