Hydraulic Control Valves: How to Select the Right Type

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

    By the end of the training, participants will be able to:

    • 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.

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.

Who Should Attend?

Ideal for the engineers who are involved in the selection, installation or operation of Hydraulic Control valves and actuators in the Oil & Gas, Petroleum and Petrochemical Industries, Power Plants etc. Also recommended for Operations and maintenance persons, Instrumentation and Control Engineers, Process Engineers, Plant overhauling and troubleshooting Engineers and Technicians.
