Response time of solenoid valve

The response time of the solenoid valve from fully closed to fully open (or vice versa) depends on the valve's nominal diameter, operating mode, starting current and power, fluid medium type and viscosity, inlet pressure and working pressure difference, etc.

For the diameter DN≤50, the fluid medium is gas, and the pressure P≤1Mpa:

General direct-acting solenoid valve response time is 15-60ms, pilot-type solenoid valve response time is 20-250ms, recoil type electromagnetic response tends to be close to direct-acting solenoid valve.

When the medium is liquid, the response time of the solenoid valve is increased by about 50-100% compared with the above value.

The response time of using a DC solenoid valve is about 50% longer than the above value.

Because there are many varying parameters for testing the response time of the solenoid valve, generally the response time of each valve cannot be provided, and it is provided according to the user's needs and according to the prescribed test conditions.
