A pressure limited flow priority boost valve comprising: an inlet chamber, a metering chamber, a spool bore fluidly connected between the inlet chamber and the metering chamber, a feed chamber opening to two longitudinally spaced locations of the spool bore, a compensator fluidly connected between the metering chamber and the feed chamber, a first workport chamber fluidly connected between a first workport and the spool bore, and a spool disposed in the spool bore and moveable from a neutral position to a first workport position, in which the spool includes an outer spool body having first and second longitudinal sides, the first longitudinal side having a longitudinal bore forming a metering chamber bypass and at least one radial bore in fluid communication with the longitudinal bore, in which, when the spool is in the neutral position, the inlet chamber is disconnected from the metering chamber, the feed chamber, and the first workport chamber, and in which, when the spool is in the first workport position, the inlet is fluidly connected to the metering chamber and the inlet is fluidly connected to the workport chamber via a metering chamber bypass if a pressure at the workport is below a predetermined value and disconnected from the workport chamber via the metering chamber bypass if the pressure at the workport is above a predetermined value, wherein the spool includes an inner spool body disposed in the longitudinal bore and axially movable with respect to the outer spool body, the inner spool body being biased toward the second longitudinal side of the outer spool body, the inner spool body including at least one longitudinal bore and at least one radial bore in fluid communication with the longitudinal bore of the inner spool body and the radial bore of the outer spool body. an inlet chamber, a metering chamber, a spool bore fluidly connected between the inlet chamber and the metering chamber, a feed chamber opening to two longitudinally spaced locations of the spool bore, a compensator fluidly connected between the metering chamber and the feed chamber, a first workport chamber fluidly connected between a first workport and the spool bore, and a spool disposed in the spool bore and moveable from a neutral position to a first workport position, in which the spool includes an outer spool body having first and second longitudinal sides, the first longitudinal side having a longitudinal bore forming a metering chamber bypass and at least one radial bore in fluid communication with the longitudinal bore, in which, when the spool is in the neutral position, the inlet chamber is disconnected from the metering chamber, the feed chamber, and the first workport chamber, and in which, when the spool is in the first workport position, the inlet is fluidly connected to the metering chamber and the inlet is fluidly connected to the workport chamber via a metering chamber bypass if a pressure at the workport is below a predetermined value and disconnected from the workport chamber via the metering chamber bypass if the pressure at the workport is above a predetermined value, wherein the spool includes an inner spool body disposed in the longitudinal bore and axially movable with respect to the outer spool body, the inner spool body being biased toward the second longitudinal side of the outer spool body, the inner spool body including at least one longitudinal bore and at least one radial bore in fluid communication with the longitudinal bore of the inner spool body and the radial bore of the outer spool body.
