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).
