The world’s largest gate valve was designed and manufactured by Blackhall Valves for the Integrated Pipeline Project in Texas, a $2 billion initiative to meet the water demands of a…
Are you looking to choose the right actuator to drive your control valve? Control valves play a critical role in regulating fluid flow, and choosing the right actuator is essential…
In industrial processes, control valves are essential components that regulate the flow of fluids and gases. Any failure in these valves can lead to significant disruptions in the process, resulting…
Industrial control valves are an essential part of many industrial processes. They control the flow of gases, liquids, and slurries in pipelines and other process systems. These valves are designed…
A valve’s flow characteristic or CV curve is a graphical representation that illustrates the relationship between the flow rate through the valve and the valve’s opening percentage (from fully closed…
(Original article in German from Chemie Technik) Valves are indispensable in modern production processes, and their reliability and functionality are essential for ensuring smooth operation. Valve diagnostics must be performed…
In a control system overshoot refers to the situation where the output of the system exceeds the desired value. This can occur when the control system, the control loop, tries…
Control valve diagnostics with industry 4.0 enabled valve couplings Control valves are critical components in industrial processes, responsible for controlling flow rates, pressures, and temperatures. These valves need to work…
There are several databases that exist that have Mean Time To Failure (MTTF) and Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) data for industrial assets. Some examples include: Note though that the…
