Control Valve Sizing, Selection & Maintenance
Introduction:
It is claimed that the majority of control valves throughout the world have not been correctly sized and that large numbers operate on manual mode. Whether this is true or not is difficult to establish but we do know that the method of sizing and selecting a control valve for a specific application is generally not well understood. Although there are many factors that need to be taken into account the subject is not difficult to understand if dealt with in a logical manner. Many maintenance problems result from people treating the symptoms of a problem rather than tackling the true cause, a basic understanding of the principles is all that is usually needed to solve the problem for good. This course is designed to maximize knowledge retention and understanding. It provides an opportunity for participants to discuss, specific problems and appropriate solutions. It will enable you to understand what happens inside a control valve from basic fluid mechanics point of view.
Course Objectives:
By the end of this course delegates will be able to:
