Description

Every engineering process requires the ability to stop, start and regulate (throttle) flow. Valves are thus a fundamental part of any system that conveys gases, liquids or solids. But what are valves? How do they work? And why do they have such weird names e.g. butterfly valve? This course will help you answer all of these questions and many more!


You will learn:


  • How valves are named.

  • What linear and rotary motion valves are.

  • All of a valve's main components.

  • How common valve types work (ball, butterfly, diaphragm, gate, globe, safety, relief, pinch etc.).

  • How to choose the correct valve for a certain application.

  • How to identify valves visually.

  • Advantages and disadvantages associated with each valve type.


This course will give you all the information you need to know about each valve type and can also be used later as a refresher course. Irrespective of your engineering background (oil and gas, chemical engineering, HVAC, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering etc.), this course will enrich your engineering career because valves are truly everywhere!
