10mm solenoid valve.

A solenoid valve is an electromechanical device that controls the flow of a fluid or gas by opening, closing, or partially obstructing various passageways. The term “10mm” typically refers to the size of the valve or the size of the connections, such as the diameter of the inlet and outlet ports.

Here are some key features of a 10mm solenoid valve:

Size: As mentioned, the 10mm solenoid valve has a 10 millimeter nominal diameter for the connections, which allows it to handle small to moderate flow rates. The valve size can be specified by the inner diameter of the inlet and outlet ports or the size of the threads for pipe connections.

Operation: Solenoid valves are operated by an electric coil that generates a magnetic field when energized. This magnetic field moves a plunger inside the valve, which in turn opens or closes the valve. Solenoid valves can be normally open (NO), normally closed (NC), or have a universal function.

Materials: The construction of a 10mm solenoid valve can vary depending on the application. Common materials include brass, stainless steel, and plastic. The choice of material depends on factors such as the fluid or gas being controlled, temperature, pressure, and environmental conditions.

Seal Material: The seal material in a solenoid valve is crucial for preventing leaks and ensuring proper operation. Common seal materials include NBR (nitrile), FKM (Viton), and EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber). The seal material should be compatible with the fluid or gas being controlled to prevent degradation and leaks.

Voltage: Solenoid valves can be powered by different voltage levels, such as 12V, 24V, or 110/220V AC. The voltage should match the power supply available in the application.

Pressure Range: The pressure range of a 10mm solenoid valve refers to the minimum and maximum pressure levels that the valve can handle. This range varies depending on the specific valve model and its materials.

Applications: 10mm solenoid valves are suitable for a variety of applications, including water and air control systems, pneumatic and hydraulic systems, and process automation.

When selecting a 10mm solenoid valve, it’s important to consider factors such as the type of fluid or gas being controlled, the operating pressure and temperature range, the required flow rate, and the necessary voltage compatibility.
