Language: English TRAINING OVERVIEW Introduction: Control valves are an increasingly vital component of modern manufacturing around the world. Properly selected and maintained control valves increase efficiency, safety and profitability. The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. Description: You will gain a practical understanding of control valves, actuators, and positioner designs and their applications. This course also provides methods that can be used to identify specific valve problems and to arrive at acceptable solutions within engineering tolerance.

TRAINING METHODOLOGY The latest educational methods and strategies will be employed. The course is designed to maximize delegate benefit from the outset. Questions are encouraged throughout. This provides opportunities for participants to discuss with the presenter and others, specific problems and appropriate solutions. All delegates take away a detailed and comprehensive copy of the material presented, therefore minimal note taking is encouraged to ensure maximum delegate participation and attention. Practical hands-on training ensures knowledge retention PRE-REQUISITES No specialist knowledge or skills are required - only a technical background so that there is an understanding for such factors as the difference between pressure and force.
