Valves & Bearing

Introduction

The course outlines the general technology of valves and bearings Design. It covers how importance the valves are for piping and any work on the process, valves are the main part to control all the process parameters like flow, pressure, and temperature.

In this course you will learn the types and main parts of each valve types, also you will be able to troubleshoot valves problems. and get a big idea of how to maintain valves.

The course provides participants with the basic knowledge for bearing, which is the critical part of all rotating equipment or machine in our life. If the bearing not working properly the machine will not produce the required production or it will be out of use.

So, properly monitoring for bearing is a critical job to prevent sudden production cuts.

You will get all the information about bearings types, material function and problems

In this course, you will learn how to observe the bearing function and do the needed maintenance

This course presents a realistic approach to the valve and bearing selection for the function, Servicing, sizing, installation, repair, overhauling, upgrading and modifications of these components. Valves and bearings usually appear to be simple in form and operation, but very critical and important parts in any system, production lines  or any process

You will discover that even these components are frequently installed improperly throughout the industry.

Objectives

The participant will get the following after completed that course:

• Understand the importance of bearing on machine and rotating equipment
• Know the importance of valves in any process network
• Recognize the components of valves
• Have a practical idea and information about troubleshooting valves & bearing
• Understand the importance of lubrication system in the life of bearings

Training Methodology

The training methodology is interactive with group exercises and is suitable for all employees involved in functions management. The pace and level of the training workshop is customized to the understanding of the delegates. On-going back-up and support is available after the training on request to the supplier, and the training course is also available for in-house presentation as well as for “Competency Transfer”.

Who Should Attend?

• This course is intended for Maintenance Engineers, Application Engineers, Inspection Engineers, Elect/Electronics Engineers, Control Systems and Instrumentation Engineers, Production Engineers, Well-Head & Drilling Engineers and the new Valve Designers. User, distributor, sales engineers or buyer of this equipment will also benefit & understand much of the design & manufacturing principles that dictates faster delivery of safer quality product.
• This course is primarily for those who are new to the field, but it will also serve as a refresher workshop for those who have many years of experience
