An electrically controlled hydraulic flow control valve has a nozzle and flapper valve acting as a pilot control for a shiftable main throttle valve. A pressure compensating valve responsive to the pressure drop across the main throttle keeps the flow rate constant, independent of inlet and outlet pressures. Pilot control fluid is supplied by a pressure reducing valve which maintains constant pressure on a small area servomotor, biasing the throttle valve toward closed position. The flapper valve receives control fluid from the reducing valve through a fixed orifice and by means of a feedback connection with the throttle valve, maintains the latter in a position corresponding to the energization of the solenoid.
