Abstract
A technique facilitates control over fluid flow via controlled operation of a flow control valve. The flow control valve comprises a first component with a hydraulic flow configuration and a second component with a corresponding hydraulic flow configuration. The first component and the second component are mounted in a body such that the second component is shiftable between operational positions with respect to the first component. Shifting of the second component relative to the first component causes the hydraulic flow configuration and the corresponding hydraulic flow configuration to move into different cooperating flow configurations which provide different flow paths through the flow control valve. Additionally, the first and second components are biased toward sealing engagement with each other.
