COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. Valves usually appear to be simple in form and operation, such as those of a manual off/on valve, check valve, or the fixed valve type such as an orifice, blind, etc. You will discover that even these components are frequently installed improperly throughout the industry. You will learn how components such as safety and relief valves can become highly complicated and dangerous. The consequences of not understanding their basic design will be shown. Many control valves and regulators are so complex that they are complete systems within themselves. Resolving problems associated with them can challenge the best engineer, scientist or technician. During this interactive course, participants will learn the maintenance preparations and valve removal; the maintenance preparations and valve packing; the adjustment, removal, selection and cutting of valve packing; the installation of valves; the valve overhaul, valve disassembly and valve inspection; and the lapping disc, seat and valve reassembly.
