COURSE OVERVIEW

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. The Valve industry has become increasing digital during the last ten years. Even a casual examination of available smart or intelligent positioners reveals significant differences in design philosophies, on-board intelligence, and application options being employed by manufacturers. This course will focus on the new process plant applications for smart valve technology found since 1998. Further, this course offers complete coverage of the operation, application, and pros and cons of todays newest smart valves with digital positioners and actuators. Also includes updates on HART and FieldBus valve technology. The course will cover the latest spectrum of available valves from gate, plug, butterfly, check, pressure-relief, globe valves to control valves equipped with microprocessors, which provide single-loop control of the process. Further, the course will cover valve materials: steel, iron, plastic, brass, bronze, and a number of special alloys.Today the global valve industry involves hundreds of global manufacturers who produce thousands of designs of manual, check, pressure-relief and control valves. In addition to the traditional manufacturers in North America and Europe, the course will discuss the emerging Asian market, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. This course is offering everything the professional and the novice need to know about designing, selecting, installation, application, sizing, maintaining, and troubleshooting of nowadays valves. In addition to serving as an invaluable update for the experienced engineer, this course provides the beginner with a solid understanding of modern valve technology
