Custom Products
Precision Fluid Control excells at supplying custom products for Aerospace applications. Using our extensive library of designs, we are often able to modify an existing product to meet customer specifications. We also design unique valve and pressure controls directly from a customer provided specification. Our non recurring engineering charges are often minimal. We maintain close communication with our customers throughout the design, manufacturing, testing and installation phases.

Ball Valves
PFC Ball Valves are used as isolation and main engine valves for multiple applications. These valves are used in both cryogenic and ambient applications and are compatible with many fuels and oxidizers. They offer rapid, consistent actuation times and are offered in multiple sizes. PFC will customize a ball valve to meet customer specifications.
Specification Ranges Flow Coefficient Cv = 260 min and higher Pressure Range 200psi to 1800 psi (Specified by Customer Fluid Media Propellants for Fuel and Oxidizer Operating Temp Min -420 F Operating Temp Max +250 F PFC manufactures our own high pressure actuator for use with our ball valves and butterfly valves.

Sleeve Valves
Available for both cryogenic and ambient applications, sleeve valves offer a very lightweight alternative for fluid control. These valves may be used in main engine, gas generator or system isolation applications. Valves are sculpted for weight reduction and are available in multiple sizes and pressures.
Specification Ranges Flow Coefficient Cv ranges from 20 to 50 Sizes 3/4" Through 1.50" Design Pressures 100 psi Through 2000 psi Fluid Media Propellants for Fuel and Oxidizer Operating Temp Min -420ºF Operating Temp Max +250ºF -
Right Angle Poppet Valves
Right Angle Poppet Valves by PFC are available for both shut off and throttling applications. These valves may be used as main engine valves and can be designed or modified to meet customer specifications. PFC poppet valves are available for both cryogenic and ambient applications and are compatible with most fuels and oxidizers. They function reliably in extreme conditions, are optimized for weight reduction, and can be used with high pressure systems.

Pressure Regulators
PFC offers a variety of pressure reducing regulators and back pressure regulators. We have single stage as well as dual stage for exact pressure control for launch/flight applications. PFC offers a series of dome loaded regulators, some sculpted for optimized weight, and others for ground applications. Cv's vary from .1 to over 100.
Specification Ranges Flow Coefficient Cv from .1 to over 100 Inlet Pressure 500 psig to 6000 psig Outlet Pressure 500 psig to 6000 psig max Fluid Media Specified by Customer Operating Temp Min -160 ºF Operating Temp Max +250 ºF -
Check Valves
Precision Fluid Controls has a wide variety of cyrogenic and ambient check valve designs to meet the most challenging applications. Our valves range in size from 1/4", 3000 psi miniature valves for flight or ground to 4", 6000 psi valves for ground testing applications. Valves are available in a variety of materials, soft goods and end connections. PFC check valves are excellent options for high flow applications requiring bubble tight shut off.
