All About Valves and Actuators
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…
You know they’re there, but you don’t really think about them until they suddenly stop working. And let me tell you, when that happens it’s like a scene straight out…
The German industrial valve industry exported products of 5 Billion Euro in 2023 English summary of the article (link below): The industrial valve industry in Germany is looking back on…
Control valve diagnostics are valuable because they provide a way to monitor and analyze the performance of control valves in industrial processes. Control valves play a critical role in regulating…
