Hi, Can a manual hydraulic 3-way lever valve be used in a pneumatic system?  Thank you Steve?

no it won't work properly

Air systems, regardless of compressor design or capacity, can operate more efficiently and economically through the proper selection and optimization of the control system used with the compressor unit.Compressor control systems have long had the ability to monitor and adjust basic air compressor functions, associated with monitoring, loading, unloading and throttling. Now, some systems provide additional features such as trend analysis, predictive maintenance schedules as well as remote monitoring and operations.compressor control systems function on a demand cycle. If the demand for compressed air is steady and does not fluctuate, compressor controls simply match the capacity to the system demand. One basic form of compressor flow control is called inlet throttling, or inlet unloading. \nReducing the air flow is achieved by reducing the inlet opening through which the air enters the compressor. This, in turn, matches the compressor output to the system demand. Because system pressure acts a s a demand indicator, throttling is usually controlled by system pressure. However, most air systems are more complex and demand is more variable than the one described. \nProcesses with complicated and varying demand cycles, which can include several compressors of different sizes and configurations to maintain system pressure, require a more sophisticated control system. The most common of these systems is the electro-pneumatic control system. \nMore than 70 percent of all existing air compressors utilize electro-pneumatic control systems. These compressors feature electric and mechanically controlled devices -- such as pressure switches, solenoid valves and metering pins -- that adjust the loading and unloading through the use of an inlet throttle and/or a bypass valve. These control systems typically rely on mechanical pressure switches to monitor the compressor's proper discharge pressure. In addition, electro-pneumatic systems typically feature a series of mechanical trip switches that will discontinue compressor operation when pressures or temperatures reach critical levels.The electro-pneumatic action is a control system for pipe organs whereby air pressure, controlled by an electric current and operated by the keys of an organ console, opens and closes valves within wind chests, allowing the pipes to speak. This system also allows the console to be physically detached from the organ itself. The only connection was via an electrical cable from the console to the relay, with some early organ consoles utilizing a separate wind supply to operate combination pistons.\nAlthough early experiments with Barker lever, tubular-pneumatic and electro-pneumatic actions date as far back as the 1850s, credit for a feasible design is generally given to the English organist and inventor, Robert Hope-Jones. He overcame the difficulties inherent in earlier designs by including a rotating centrifugal air blower and replacing banks of batteries with a DC generator, which provided electrical power to the organ and drove the blower. This allowed the construction of new pipe organs without any physical linkages whatsoever. Previous organs all used tracker action, which requires a mechanical linkage between the console and the organ.\nThe basic operation of the system is as follows: when the organist selects a stop and depresses a key, an electric circuit is completed, causing a low-voltage current to flow from depressed key, through the stop-tab switch, and on through the cable to the electro-pneumatic relay. The relay interprets the command from the console and sends an electric current to the appropriate solenoid. The solenoid is energized, causing the pipe valve connected to it to open, which emits compressed air into the pipe, allowing the pipe to speak.\nThe system was an unqualified success. However, the single, most significant drawback to the system was in the massive amount of wiring required for operation. With each stop tab and key being w

I do not quite understand your question. In all the applications you mentioned, there is but one method of using hydraulic energy. A hydraulic fluid is pressurized using a hydraulic pump and that energy is then used to move a cylinder, turn a motor, or operate a valve.

Ultimately the valve should be open 60%. This is a fail open valve which means it is fully open at 0psi instrument air supply. An instrument air signal is 3-15psi range, meaning in the case of a fail open valve that 3psi is valve just starting to close, 6psi valve is closed 25%, 9psi closed 50%, 12psi closed 75%, and 15psi fully closed. your application is 7.8 psi supply which is 4.8psi above the start of the range (3psi) putting the valve 40% closed and in turn making it 60% open. \n\n    3psi  /      6psi   /       9psi   /     12psi    /    15psi\n    0%   /       25%  /       50%  /      75%     /    100%\n\nThere may be some speculators to this question because the adverse condition is the fail open valve, if the question was formed to apply to a fail closed valve the answer would be 40%open and 60% closed.

Hi. Your link is bad. Usually there is a pressure applied to one of the pistons and the other exerts a force based on area difference. Twice the area, twice the force. Your ratio is .3 to 1.3. Hope this helps.

I found a 1" butterfly valve and an on-line head loss calculator, but it doesn't ahve everything you need.

Pressure relief valves are valves designed to open at a certain pressure, usually to protect equipment from rupturing due to high pressure.\n\nMost industrial pressure relief valves are spring loaded devices that will pop open at the pre-set pressure, and then re-seat after the pressure has fallen low enough.\n\nIf you have a hot water tank in your home, it probably has a pressure relief valve, designed to blow off some water if the pressure gets high in the tank, to prevent the tank from exploding dangerously.

If you cut a grapefruit in half at its equator and scoop out the flesh leaving the partitions, you would have something similar to a hudraulic transmisstion, but you would make it of steel, etc.  If you mount each half onto turning rods facing the halves together (as in the original grapefruit) and placed the combination within a chamber filled with hydraulic fluid, you could use your engine to rotate one half.  As you bring the other half closer and closer to the first, hydraulic friction increases and the second half begins to rotate, transmitting driving force to the wheels of the car.  If you brake the car, the two halves will merely slip and the tires will not move.  Of course you will need to shift gears to provide different speed ranges (low, drive, overdrive, reverse and park).  Although modern hydromatic transmissions are quite efficient they often still get less gass milage than manual transmissions because of slip (getting perhaps about 1 MPG less).

Examples of second class levers are wheelbarrows, hand trucks, wrenches, and nutcrackers. Examples of third class levers are arms, legs, cranes, catapults, tongs, and fishing poles. You asked uses, I gave examples. I hope this helps in some way. :)
