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
