- seat
- packing
- body
- etc)
- Know the characteristics and applications for each valve type (ball
- plug
- gate

etc)

Understand how single acting and double acting pneumatic actuators work through graphics and 3D animations

Understand the principle of fail open (FO) and fail close (FC) actuators

Know how to convert a single acting spring return actuator to a double acting actuator and vice versa

Know how to convert a fail close actuator to a fail open actuator and vice versa

Learn how to size valves

Learn how to calculate the resistance coefficient "K" of any valves

Learn what the flow coefficient "Cv" of a control valve means and how to use it in assessing flows and pressure drops

Understand the theory of regulating flow with control valves

Understand the concepts of cavitation and choking in control valves through graphics and 3D animations

Learn how to size and select a control valve when designing and operating any piping system for both gases and liquids

Know and identify valve symbols on engineering drawings such as P&ID's

Know the standards and conventions for valve status (open

closed

throttled)

Identify valve position and failure mode on your P&IDs (LO

FAI…)

And much more...

* Requirements

* Some engineering or field knowledge is preferable but not mandatory. All the concepts are explained in depth using an easy to understand language to allow students to build their knowledge from the ground up
* Having attended our "Piping systems : Drafting & Design" training course is a plus but not mandatory
* Having attended our "Flow of Fluid Through Piping systems" training course is a plus but not mandatory
