Designed around a series of practical examples which we work through to a solution, this valuable online course is an essential guide to understanding the valve sizing procedure. This understanding is a prerequisite for a successful operation of your plant and piping system.
In this course, 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, just to name a few...
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.
The Valve Sizing Excel Spreadsheet provides well organized technical data in form of spreadsheet calculations indispensible for anyone involved in the sizing of valves. It presents formulae and data for :
Valve flow coefficients Cv
Flow of fluids through valves
Pressure drop through valves and attached fittings
Valve Reynolds Number calculations
Predicting maximum flow through valves in choked conditions
Representative values of valve capacity factors
And much more...
The spreadsheet includes two worksheets :
Sizing for liquids (incompressible fluids)
Non vaporizing flow conditions
Choked flow conditions
Sizing for vapors and gases (compressible fluids)
So as you can see here, detailed technical descriptions and basic step-by-step instructions will be provided to you along with practice sessions, quizzes, a valuable Valve Sizing Spreadsheet and numerous downloadable resources, to emphasize the key learning points.
So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum of the course and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.
