Sizing, Selecting & Applying
Process Control Valves
Introduction:
Control valves
are imperative elements in any system where fluid flow must be monitored and
manipulated. A complete control valve is made of the valve itself, an actuator,
and, if necessary, a valve control device. The actuator is what provides the
required force to cause the closing part of the valve to move and the valve
control devices keep the valves in the proper operating conditions; they can
ensure appropriate position, interpret signals and manipulate responses.
This course
provides an overview of control valve with emphasis on the sizing and
selection. Selection of the proper valve involves a thorough knowledge of the
process for which it will be used. When implementing a control valve into a
process, one must consider not only the appropriate type of valve and its
material of construction, but also the correct sizing to ensure it performs its
designated task without any adverse occurrences in the system.
Extensive
course materials provided contained useful information about valves sizing and
selection. The candidates will gain a thorough understanding of control valves,
actuators and positioner designs and their applications. The course, also,
provides methods that can be used to identify specific valve problems and
arrive at acceptable solutions within engineering tolerance.
