Pressure relief valve
Pressure relief valve
Pneumatic pressure is the pressure exerted by a pressurized gas.Compressed air is commonly used for this purpose.Vehicle tires are inflated with compressed air or nitrogen.Placing a pressure gauge on the valve will read a number on the dial, say 28 or 32.Which means the pneumatic pressure exerted by the gas inside the tire is 28/32 psi.
That is normal operation.
No. There are a few reasons why a pneumatic control valve can not be used with hydraulics applications. Firstly, pneumatic seals are incompatible to the chemical properties of hydraulic oils and they do not have the strength to accommodate the high pressures produced by a hydraulic system. Secondly, pneumatic valves are not designed for high pressure operation and the component would get damaged, burst or crack. Finally, the tolerances within pneumatic components would allow by-passing due to the slacker tolerances compared to hydraulic components. By-passing causes all sorts of problems by itself: Over-heating, leaking, internal structure damage of the component.
If you are talking about a pneumatic solenoid valve the function of it is to control the air in and out flow in a pneumatic actuator.

In an application of pressure reduction, the warm up valve (bypass valve) is used to warm the steam line, within recommended time frames, before the control valve is placed into operation. A steam control valve should not be used for warm up of a steam distribution line.
This indeed harks back to the origin of the word "valve". A traditional (water) valve may be operated by the application of a few pounds of force, but may control the flow of thousands of pounds of fluid. [Which is why by analogy, thermionic amplifiers were called valves.] Similarly with pneumatic control valves, where a signal of a few pounds on a control piston will produce an actuating force of many hundreds of pounds.
Pneumatic is defined as air driven and therefore the two terms are synonomous. However pneumatic is not as frequently used in describing a valve.
spool valveA spool valve is a multidirectional hydraulic or pneumatic valve usually operated by a joystick. It has several hoses attached to it leading to different pneumatic rams. When the joystick is pushed in one direction, it causes the valve to shut off one of the pneumatic hoses leading to the ram and open the other. Which way the joystick is pushed moves the piston in the ram in or out. Since you specified a solenoid operated valve it is operated not by a joystick that is directly connected to the valve but rather an electric joystick like the you would use in a video game and an electrical signal is sent to activate a solenoid that does the same thing but can be much farther away from the operator. Solenoid Actuated Pneumatic Spool ValveA solenoid actuated pneumatic spool valve is a spool valve actuated by an electric solenoid. They are often used in industrial automation and are usually controlled by a PC or a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) rather than a manual switch. To reduce the size and power consumption of the solenoid, often the solenoid does not directly actuate the spool. Instead, the solenoid actuates a small internal valve which directs upstream air pressure to move the spool. This is called an air piloted solenoid actuated pneumatic spool valve. The air pilot mechanism typically requires about 40 PSI to operate reliably. If the air pressure upstream of the valve is going to be less than 40 PSI, the valve must be externally piloted, meaning that the pilot is connected to a separate air source which is above 40 PSI.
