Introduction
A single malfunctioning valve can make an entire system break down. This course teaches students how various valves function and affect system operation.
Objectives
- Describe the basic structure and operation of normally closed and normally open pressure control valves
- Describe the uses for relieving, unloading, sequence, counterbalance, brake, pressure-reducing valves, and flow control valves
- Explain how pressure compensation enables a flow control valve to maintain the desired flow rate regardless of pressure fluctuations
- Describe the function and basic operation of one-way, two-way, three-way, and four-way directional control valves
- Identify methods of spool actuation for directional control valves.
By the end of the training, participants will be able to:
Training Methodology
This is a highly interactive training course with opportunities to advance your opinions and ideas. Participation is encouraged in a supportive environment. To ensure the concepts introduced during the program are understood, they will be reinforced through a mix of learning methods, including lecture-style presentations, open discussion, case studies, simulations, and group work.
