Control valves are imperative elements in any system where fluid flow must be monitored and manipulated. A complete control valve is made of the valve itself, an actuator, and, if necessary, a valve control device. The actuator is what provides the required force to cause the closing part of the valve to move and the valve control devices keep the valves in the proper operating conditions; they can ensure appropriate position, interpret signals, and manipulate responses.Selection of the proper valve involves a thorough knowledge of the process for which it will be used. When implementing a control valve into a process, one must consider not only the appropriate type of valve and its material of construction, but also the correct sizing to ensure it performs its designated task without any adverse occurrences in the system.This 4-hour quick book provides an overview of control valve with emphasis on the sizing and selection. This course is for mechanical, instrumentation and process engineers involved in sizing, selecting and applying process control valves. No specific prerequisite training or experience is required.Learning ObjectiveAt the conclusion of this course, the reader will:• Differentiate between various types of valves and the benefits of each;• Understand the operation of control valve in a control loop;• Understand how to evaluate and apply actuators and positioners for specific applications;• Understand the basic hydraulics and the relationship between the Cv, flow rate and pressure drop;• Understand how to size valves for any flow condition likely to be found in a process plant;• Understand how to select the proper valve characteristic for a given process;• Understand how the installed characteristics can match closely to the inherent characteristics;• Understand the methods to address system performance issues such as cavitation, flashing and chocked conditions;• Understand the factors influencing the selection of control valves.

This new book is intended as a guide for automated valve end users, engineers and valve industry professionals that need to understand valve actuators. It describes the various types of electric and fluid powered actuators in terms of design, power supplies, controls and sizing. The reader is taken through the logical steps of selecting the correct actuator for their application, including isolating, modulating and fail safe variations. There are sections on matching actuators to new valves and also retrofitting actuators to existing valves. Examples of where actuators are found in various industrial applications and a comprehensive technical appendix make this book a valuable reference manual.PREVIEWS -"An amazing job of explaining and illustrating actuators, and of course the engineering principles. We need engineering books like this: ones that explain engineering in a well written and digestible form".....Sir James Dyson"This book covers the many and varied types of actuator designs. It helps users understand the type of actuator which is suitable for a particular valve and application. This is an easy to access reference work on all you will ever need to know about valve actuators."......... Bill Whiteley, Chairman Spirax Sarco Engineering Plc and former CEO Rotork Plc."This book should be on every engineer's bookshelf that works in the process or process control industry. It provides the link between the valve and the process. The reader is led through the process of application, selection, sizing, system design and specifying of the actuator."........ Edward Stillwell, PE Control System Engineer
