Course Description

This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises. Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 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. This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of control valves, actuators and positioners. It covers the valves, construction, characteristics, maintenance, cavitation and flashing of control valves; disassembling and checking parts of globe, cage, butterfly, ball and diaphragm valve; checking the plugs of globe and cage valve; the actuators and positioners including pneumatic, electro, hydraulic, piston diaphragm; and the various types of positioners and how to calibrate them.
