1-day course
CPD Credit: 6.5 hours, C1
Course Overview
This one-day course will provide an insight to valve and actuator technology. It will cover check valves, shut-off valves, solenoid valves, regulators, pressure relief valves, control valves, actuators, and valve accessories.
Delegates will learn how to ensure the selection of the optimal valve size, body and trim materials, components, and accessories.
Each delegate will learn through active participation using exercises and practical sessions covering the different types of valves.
Course Aim
The primary objective is to give each delegate a practical understanding of valves, actuators, and accessories through a comprehensive look at the design and application of valves as an integral part of the piping system. Control valves as the final control element in a process control system will be covered as well as essential maintenance and installation guidance.
The course will cover, but is not limited to:
Introduction to valves
Valve Types
Actuators
Comparison of valves and actuator type
Relief Valve
Control Valve
oControl Valve Selection: Rotary/Sliding Stem
oLiquid Valve Sizing
oGas Valve Sizing
oValve Characteristics – Inherent and Installed
