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.
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 today's 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.
