In this study the 4-way spool valve characteristics are clearly defined and clearly defined and proposed new type of spool valve. This paper presents governing equations of the flow through clearances between sleeve and spool as a model of orifice flow for null characteristics analysis and programmed analysis software of it. This software is possible to basically analysis that not only which case of open center closed center or critical center but _ -displacement of spool lab position boundary region and spool opening of the valve and to estimate the pressure variation in the spool and external leak flow variation. We are convinced that the scale of load pressure difference is changed as lab condition of valve and this scale is changed with boundary point on the annular clearance. It is vary useful to designer and user of spool valve with this design data and analysis software.

A one-stage direction and flow control valve was studied theoretically and experimentally. A direction and flow control valve maintains a constant flow rate by changing the spool-orifice area under the variation of valve pressure drop, since the spool-orifice area is varied by the action of flowforces on the spool. A direction and flow control valve has the advantage of simple and low-cost structure compared to a conventional flow control valve utilizing a pressure regulating spool which regulates the pressure drop caused by flow through the metering orifice. The static and dynamic characteristics of a one-stage direction and flow control valve was analyzed. Experimental results on the flow control characteristics of the manufactured valve show satisfactory agreement with simulation results.
