NOTES:
1. The values indicated in the graphs are relevant to the standard
solenoid valve, with D24 coils.
2. Valve performance was tested in a four way circuit (full loop).
Performances may be reduced from that shown when used in a
three-way circuit (half circuit), i.e. A or B port plugged.
3. The values have been obtained according to ISO 6403 norm with
solenoids at rated temperature and supplied with voltage equal to
90% of the nominal voltage. The value have been obtained with
filtration according to ISO 4406:1999 class 18/16/13.
