Valves are used in every engineering industry on the planet. When you wash your hands, you open a valve. When you shower, you open a valve. Valves are required any time you want to start, stop, or control flow within a system. But have you ever wondered...

  • Why do we need so many different valve types?

  • What kind of valve is correct for x,y,z application?

  • What are the pros and cons of each valve type?

  • How exactly do different valves function?

This engineering course will help you answer all these questions and many more!

The course is designed to take you from zero to hero concerning valve knowledge. Even if you already have some background knowledge, this course will serve as an efficient refresher. Whatever your level of understanding, or engineering background (oil & gas, mechanical engineering, HVAC, chemical engineering, power engineering, etc.), this course will provide you with a strong understanding of different valve types and their details.
