The fuel, hydraulic, and pneumatic systems used in motorsport vehicles require precise control of flow rate and pressure conditions. The Lee Company offers a range of valves with additional functionality for applications when a basic flow restrictor is not enough.
Flow metering valves are an interesting category because not all flow metering valves perform the same function.
Lee Restrictor Cheks combine the function of a restrictor in series with a check valve into one miniature package. This provides considerable size and weight savings with no loss in performance. Lee directional flow controls provide metered flow in one direction and free flow in the opposite direction. Dual metering flow controls offer different metered flow rates in each direction. By contrast, Lee Floserts – while still incredibly small and lightweight – provide a constant flow over a wide range of differential pressures by incorporating both fixed and variable metering orifices.
In short, Lee flow metering valves generally combine the function of two components in a single package. Still, they can provide functionality that’s greater than the sum of its combined parts. The space and weight savings they provide makes these valves perfect for controlling the tiny actuators used for the rear wing, clutch engage and release, steering, and variable inlet trumpets and turbine blades.
Our flow metering valves are robust products offering precise performance in miniature, lightweight envelopes. They are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to meet the specific needs of your application.
In addition to our wide range of available catalog items, half of what Lee supplies is customized for the particular needs of a unique application. Whether you require a different flow rate, pressure range, or envelope, contact us to develop the right solution, working engineer to engineer.
