    Requirements
    Some engineering or field knowledge is preferable but not mandatory. All the concepts are explained in depth using an easy to understand language to allow students to build their knowledge from the ground up
    Please note that the mathematics in this course is undemanding. All the work can be done with a hand-held calculator with powers, roots and log functions.

The Valve sizing spreadsheet will help you perform all the calculations that we will discuss further ahead in the course. It has all the sizing equations, numerical constants and other parameters built right into it.
    We assume that Microsoft Excel is installed on your computer and that you have basic knowledge of using Excel.
    Description
    Valves and control valves of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout refining, petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering.

    This 12H masterclass is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of construction details and functioning of

    Valves (gate, globe, ball, plug, butterfly, diaphragm, needle, check, piston, pinch…)

    Control valves (two-port, three-port)

    Valve actuators (diaphragm, piston, rack and pinion, scotch yoke…)

    Valve positioners

    Safety and Pressure Relief Valves

    Steam traps (float, thermostatic, thermodynamic, inverted bucket…)

    Strainers (wye, basket…)

    This understanding is a prerequisite for a successful operation of your plant and piping system.

    This 12H masterclass includes extensive graphics, 3D animations and cross-sectional views to give you a virtual practical exposure on valves.

    The masterclass is organized into 4 parts

    Part I : Valves

    Part II : Control Valves, actuators and positioners

    Part III : Sizing and Selection

    Part IV : Valves in engineering drawings

    In Part I, you will

    Discover the major types of valves used in the process industry

    Learn their components, their function & their operation

    Have the opportunity to dismantle many valves and assemble them using 3D models, cross-sectional views and 3D animations

    In Part II, you will find valuable insights into the working principles and construction details of the following equipment

    Control valves (sliding stem and rotary / fast opening, linear and equal percentage)

    Mixing and diverting 3-port control valves

    Diaphragm actuators ("air-to-push-up" and "air-to-push-down")

    Piston actuators (Single Acting and Double Acting / Fail Open (FO) and Fail Closed (FC))

    Rack-and-pinion actuators (Single Acting and Double Acting / Fail Open (FO) and Fail Closed (FC))

    Scotch Yoke actuators (Single Acting and Double Acting / Fail Open (FO) and Fail Closed (FC))

    Pneumatic positioners (force balance, motion balance)

    Digital positioners

    I/P converters



    The course then proceeds through a series of process examples and solved problems that require you to

    Dismantle and assemble various types of control valves and actuators using 3D and 2D models

    Identify the net effect of various control valve/actuator assemblies (direct acting, reverse acting, fail open, fail close…)

    Convert an actuator from Single Acting to Double Acting configuration and vice versa

    Convert a control valve/actuator assembly from a Fail Closed (FC) to a Fail Open (FA) configuration and vice versa

    Construct the installation curve for a control valve

    Determine flowrate and pressure drop through control valves for different valve lifts

    Match the valve characteristics to the given application

    Examine the effect of selecting a control valve larger than necessary

    Examine the effect of differential pressure on the valve lift and actuator operation

    Determine when a positioner should be fitted



    This will help you develop the necessary skills to ensure your process plant and piping systems run smoothly.

    Part III Sizing & Selection is designed around a series of practical examples which we work through to a solution. This valuable part of the course is an essential guide to understanding the valve sizing procedure.

    In this section, we will present a step-by-step sizing methodology. We will show you how to proceed in the sizing of a valve in the daily practice, how to determine the flow coefficient (Cv) when selecting a control valve size, how to predict the maximum flow rate that a selected valve will pass or how to determine the pressure differential that a selected valve will exhibit…

    You will learn from our industrial experience what we wrongly calculated during project startup, debottlenecking and commissioning.

    This should undoubtedly help you minimize the mistakes in the sizing and selection of your valves.

    Included in this course is access to a valuable Valve Sizing Excel Spreadsheet. This tool will help you perform all the calculations that we will discuss further ahead in the course. It has all the sizing equations, numerical constants and other parameters built right in.

    Next in Part IV, we will introduce you to valve symbols and valve representations in engineering drawings, such as Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&IDs').

    Standards and conventions that apply to valves and their accessories will be discussed in details. You will learn how valve status and valve failure modes are depicted in engineering drawings.

    Lastly, we have included in this masterclass a technical quiz (500+ questions) to help you test your knowledge and emphasize the key learning points.

    The quiz includes

    True/False questions

    Multi-choice questions

    Images, cross-sectional views

    Solved problems

    And much more…

    So when you think you’ve got a good grasp on a topic within the course, you can test your knowledge by taking the quiz. If you pass, wonderful ! If not, you can review the videos and notes again or ask us for help in the Q&A section.

    We promise you that even though this is a technical course, you can watch it easily, without pain, but with comprehension, and that after completing it, you won't be an experienced design engineer or instrument technician but you will be prepared to become one if that is what you like and persist to be.

    Thank you again for your interest in our online courses. It is a privilege to serve you and make sure that you're learning valuable information with us.
