Introduction to Valves: Selection, Maintenance & Repair

Introduction:

Within the boiler, piping and pressure vessel industry, control and safety relief are of most essential importance. Pressure relief valves are the last line of defense against catastrophic failure or even loss of life. The course covers control and safety valve types and designs, materials, specification and selection, preventive maintenance procedures, operation and troubleshooting. The course provides a basic and specialized knowledge of valve types and designs, materials used to make valves, where various designs should and should not be used, fac­tors to consider in specifying a valve for a specific application, how to calculate flow through valves, and valve maintenance and repair. In addition to presenting information on a wide variety of valves, this course also explains the operational basics of the great variety of valves that are found in power stations, refineries, plants, and mills throughout the world.

A number of different instructional methods are used throughout the course to allow interactive learning and to give practical examples from manufacturing and service industry to enable the delegates to operate, select and troubleshoot control and safety valves upon course completion.

Course Objectives:

By the end of this course delegates will learn about:

· The ability to carry out the selection and sizing process

· Understand the problems and phenomenon associated with valves operation

· The ability to select the right valve for the particular application

· The ability to perform the necessary calculation for valve sizing

· The ability to carry out troubleshooting of valves and systems that valves are connected to

· The ability to perform troubleshooting of systems involving valves

· The ability to decide on the right maintenance plan concerning different types of valves

· Safety and relief valves play a vital rule for the safety concerning equipment and personnel
