By the application of pilot pressure to the pilot port the poppet moves back against the main spring opening. The metering characteristic of the valve is controlled by the rate of the spring, the seat angle and the pilot pressure applied. Due to the balanced poppet design load induced pressure will not open the valve and once open valve port pressure will not increase the pilot pressure required to keep the valve open.
