About the course

Actuated Valves are found throughout the industry. In this on-demand 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.
