Professional Certificate of Competency in Control Valve Sizing, Selection and Maintenance Engineering Institute of Technology

Overview

The Professional Certificate of Competency in Control Valve Sizing, Selection and Maintenance from the Engineering Institute of Technology  will help you understand what happens inside a control valve from a basic fluid mechanics point of view. This includes appreciating the difference between cavitation and flashing and realizing the difference between controlled and choked flow. You will also learn to choose between different characteristics on offer, understand the advantages and disadvantages of different seat leakage rates, and understand the failure modes for control valves and demonstrate new approaches to troubleshooting.

It will also cover how to recognize severe service applications and have an appreciation for the methods of tackling the problems associated with such applications. Plus, it will teach you to do simple calculations to determine control valve values, and identify the different types of control valves commonly in use and understand the relative advantages of each.

You will also learn to use a computer sizing programme to assist with the selection of control valves, select materials for bodies, trims, packing boxes, and gaskets, and size actuators for linear and rotary applications and know the relative advantages of pneumatic, hydraulic and electric types.
