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.
YOU WILL BE ABLE TO: understand the major technologies used in the final control element appreciate the basic theory of flow through a control valve Compare various types of final control elements Identify a typical valve operation in a control loop Differentiate between various types of valves and the benefits of each Compare rising stem to rotary style valves Analyze a control system to determine control valve needs appreciate the principles of cavitation control and noise reduction Apply ISA standards for control valve specification and selection calculate the valve flow coefficient Cv select optimum materials of construction to avoid corrosion and erosion understand the correct requirements for trim selection appreciate the differences between inherent and installed characteristics Size valves for any flow condition likely to be found in a process plant Evaluate and select actuators for specific applications Specify appropriate auxiliaries including positioners and I/P transducers Design control valve installations that are safe and trouble-free understand the principles of preventive maintenance through the application of signature analysis TRAINING OUTCOME At the end of this course participants will have an understanding of: understand the major technologies used in the final control element appreciate the basic theory of flow through a control valve Compare various types of final control elements Identify a typical valve operation in a control loop Differentiate between various types of valves and the benefits of each Compare rising stem to rotary style valves Analyze a control system to determine control valve needs appreciate the principles of cavitation control and noise reduction Apply ISA standards for control valve specification and selection calculate the valve flow coefficient Cv select optimum materials of construction to avoid corrosion and erosion understand the correct requirements for trim selection appreciate the differences between inherent and installed characteristics

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.
