The PC12-PS is a 12-size, load sense, priority, static, pressure compensator. The valve
will provide on-demand priority ow to port 2 in the required amount (dependent
on the load sense pressure on port 1), allowing the excess ow to go to auxiliary
functions through port 3.

Theoretical performance
Common applications include steering circuits that require pre-compensated, priority ow
to go to the steering system, and the excess ow will go to an auxiliary function, like a fan
motor. To obtain dynamic load sensing (priority type pre-comp) add in orice between
ports 2 and 1 in the manifold. This provides faster response and is commonly used in
steering to ush out LS line. See Circuit Example.
