CONTROL VALVE SIZING, SELECTION AND MAINTENANCE

THE WORKSHOP
It is claimed that the majority of control valves
throughout the world have not been correctly
sized and that large numbers operate on manual
mode. Whether this is true or not is difficult to
establish but we do know that the method of
sizing and selecting a control valve for a specific
application is generally not well understood.
Although there are many factors that need to be
taken into account the subject is not difficult to
understand if dealt with in a logical manner.
We also find that many maintenance problems
result from people treating the symptoms of a
problem rather than tackling the true cause - a
basic understanding of the principles is all that is
usually needed to solve the problem for good.
TRAINING METHODOLOGY
The latest educational methods and strategies
will be employed. The course is designed to
maximise 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.
This course is a good introduction to someone
who has had no dealings with control valves in
the past as well as an important refresher course
for control valve specialists who benefit from the
back-to-basics approach.
