Download or read book Control Valve Basics Sizing Selection written by A. Bhatia and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.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.This 4-hour quick book provides an overview of control valve with emphasis on the sizing and selection. This course is for mechanical, instrumentation and process engineers involved in sizing, selecting and applying process control valves. No specific prerequisite training or experience is required.Learning ObjectiveAt the conclusion of this course, the reader will:• Differentiate between various types of valves and the benefits of each;• Understand the operation of control valve in a control loop;• Understand how to evaluate and apply actuators and positioners for specific applications;• Understand the basic hydraulics and the relationship between the Cv, flow rate and pressure drop;• Understand how to size valves for any flow condition likely to be found in a process plant;• Understand how to select the proper valve characteristic for a given process;• Understand how the installed characteristics can match closely to the inherent characteristics;• Understand the methods to address system performance issues such as cavitation, flashing and chocked conditions;• Understand the factors influencing the selection of control valves.
Download or read book Industrial Valves written by Karan Sotoodeh and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2023-05-02 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INDUSTRIAL VALVES Improve the design and safety of your industrial valves with this comprehensive guide Industrial valves are used to regulate the flow of liquids, gases, or slurries. They are fundamental to multiple industries, including marine shipping, in which valves regulate power supply, wastewater, water for fire-fighting, and other shipboard essentials. They are also critical to the oil and gas industry, where valves are used to control the flow of oil or gas out of deposits, direct the crude oil refining process, protect key areas and equipment from spillage and overflow, and more. Without the safety and regulating power provided by industrial valves these industries could not proceed. This book provides a thorough introduction to the modeling and calculation of key challenges related to valve design, manufacturing, and operation. It focuses particularly on solving problems of material failure due to corrosion and cavitation, allowing readers to construct valve designs that will maximize safety and reliability. It is a critical resource in helping protect workplaces, industrial sites, and valuable equipment from the externalities of these fundamental industrial resources. Readers will also find: Applied calculations based on real-life cases from industry Information based on international standards including NORSOK (Norwegian standard) and IECs (European standards) Based on decades of experience in the relevant industries Industrial Valves is a useful reference for engineers and practitioners in the oil and gas and marine industries, piping engineers, valve manufacturers, and more.

This book was released on 2021-05-29 with total page 622 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Piping and valve engineers rely on common industrial standards for selecting and maintaining valves, but these standards are not specific to the subsea oil and gas industry. Subsea Valves and Actuators for the Oil and Gas Industry delivers a needed reference to go beyond the standard to specify how to select, test, and maintain the right subsea oil and gas valve for the project. Each chapter focuses on a specific type of valve with a built-in structured table on valve selection, helping guide the engineer to the most efficient valve. Covering subsea-specific protection, the reference also gives information on high pressure protection systems (HIPPS) and discusses corrosion management within the subsea sector, such as Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking Corrosion (HISC). Additional benefits include understanding the concept of different safety valves in subsea, selecting different valves and actuators located on subsea structures such as Christmas trees, manifolds, and HIPPS modules, with a full detail review including sensors, logic solver, and solenoid which is designed to save cost and improve the reliability in the subsea system. Rounding out with chapters on factory acceptance testing (FAT) and High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS), Subsea Valves and Actuators for the Oil and Gas Industry gives subsea engineers and managers a much-needed tool to better understand today’s subsea technology. Understand practical information about all types of subsea valves and actuators with over 600 visuals and several case studies Learn and review the applicable standards and specifications from API and ISO in one convenient location Protect your assets with a high-pressure protection system (HIPPS) and subsea-specific corrosion management including Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking Corrosion (HISC)
