Abstract
A pilot operated control valve has a main poppet which selectively engages a valve seat to control flow of fluid between an inlet and an outlet. The flow of fluid through a pilot passage in the main poppet is controlled by a pilot poppet that has a pressure balancing stem extending into the pilot passage. The control valve incorporates a compression check valve and/or a reverse flow check valve, in addition to a transducer for sensing the pressure at the outlet.
