FLUID POWER CONNECTORS & COMPONENTS ULTRA-MINIATURE PRESSURE COMPENSATED FLOW CONTROL VALVE WITH LOW FRICTION DIAPHRAGM, BESWICK ENGINEERING CO. INC. Some applications need flow control valves that ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through ...

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

If you suddenly have the need for a two-way, flow control valve — from a valve-selection standpoint — what kind of questions do you ask yourself? Many, perhaps, don’t ask any questions and may make ...

Control valves experience significant reaction loads when they regulate choked flow. The highly restrictive, complex flow path of existing severe-service valves dissipates the forces from ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...

A partnership between valve product and solutions supplier Brimis Engineering (Brimis) and Germany-based valve manufacturer ...

Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...
