Why take this course?
This actuated-valve hardware course examines valve bodies, trim, bonnets, positioners, solenoid valves, speed controls and diagnostic functions. It explains how these choices affect specification, reliability, testing and maintenance. This self-paced online course includes video lectures and a completion certificate with PDH credits.
What you'll learn
After completing this course, you...
• are familiar with the design choices in valve body design and how these are determined by piping classes,
• have seen how to design to minimize internal leakage and fugitive emissions,
• understand the design details of valve trims for different flow capacities, their characteristics and suitability for different applications,
• can recognise a trim design with stem retention,
• know the different packing systems available on the market,
• understand the methods for valve speed control, why it is done and the associated difficulties,
• have learnt the working principle of a valve positioner, and how a positioner is used to remove the deadband,
• seen the function of a regulator, stem retention design and the different configurations of solenoid-operated control valves,
• have become familiar with the purpose and methods of valve diagnostics and asset management.

About the course
Actuated Valves are found throughout the industry. In this Self-Paced training course, participants will be taken through the hardware and accessories for actuated valves in detail. Firstly, the choices to be made in valve body design will be explained, and the role that piping classes play in determining many of these aspects will be shown. The valve trim is then explained, and it will be shown how its design influences the flow capacity, valve characteristics, and suitability for different applications.
Valve speed control and the associated difficulties will be shown. The working principle of a valve positioner will be detailed to show how a positioner is used to remove the deadband. Learn about the function of a regulator, stem retention design, and the different configurations of solenoid-operated control valves. To close the course, the methods of valve diagnostics and asset management will be shown.
