Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt in the class will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. This course has been structured to show how more than 32 basic types of valves operate and how they are configured for their many applications. With over 400 classifications for valves produced by more than two thousand manufacturing companies, which valve do you select? It will be shown how valves should be specified and selected. The course will present many accessories such as actuators and how they are made available and selected. Other amenities such as proportional controllers, solenoids, positioners and indicators etc will also be presented. In light of the many liability cases held throughout the world, selecting the proper valve can have major consequences for a companys safety, economy and viability. With this in mind, the program is designed to give both the new and experienced user some insight to problems that valve designers and manufacturing facilities encounter in the real world. Guidelines and numerous "rule of thumb" suggestions will be given to help you make sound choices that limit downtime.The course is constructed for three different groups, i.e., valve selection & specification, valve manufacturing & maintenance, and valve design & application theory, it is always difficult to meet all the objectives of anyone group due to the diverse and completely different backgrounds in both education and experience. However, this program has been developed over the years to instruct all three groups at the same time. This is accomplished by integrating the fundamentals of the three groups to show the participant, how each discipline plays an important role for those who specify, select, purchase, design and manufacture and repair these many different types of valves.
