This course provides insight into process valve technology, such as valve/drive selection based on materials and standards. It also gives you an understanding of valve control systems and focuses on actuator selection and sizing for the correct application.
Practical exercises using industrial components and applications form an integral part of this training course.
Target group: Field, process and laboratory operators, processengineers, maintenance staff, designers, engineers, trainers and consultants
The content includes:
• Design and function of process valves, taking international standardisation into account.
• Physical principles and material selection related to media and process valves.
• Testing and certification requirements of process valves (such as works test certificate).
• Phenomena in fluid control like cavitation and water hammer and how to avoid it.
• Principles and selection of process valve actuation (manually, hydraulically, electrically and pneumatically).
• Reading and interpreting process valve symbols.
• Influence of international regulations on the process valve selection (AWWA, API, etc.).
• Standards in Process Automation.
• Practical control exercises and application usingPLC/ actuator/valve control.
Outcomes
After completing this course, the participant can:
• Select, assemble and test process valve installations.
• Maintain and troubleshoot process valve installations.
• Identify and describe the construction, design features and operation of process valves.
• Interpret technical specifications and data related to process valves and systems.
• Identify and explain graphical symbols for process valves.
• Perform simple calculations of pressure, flow, force and know:
- The role of process valve actuation (manually, hydraulically, electrically and pneumatically).
- How to prevent cavitation and water hammer damage.
- Innovative developments and current trends in process valve automation products and their applications.
• Size the correct actuator for valves using datasheets and software tools.
Requirements:
Basic technical understanding (“Pneumatics level 1” PN111 course will be advantageous).
