Smart valves and actuators offer steadily developing opportunities in industrial fluid management, with precise and responsive control, improved efficiency and powerful oversight. As industries ...

Learn about the most commonly available automated valve types, how to determine valve sizing, and the different actuator options for process control valves. Photo courtesy of Emerson. Like so many of ...

The valves marked “6” are the J-T control valves, with an emphasis on the critical “warm” and “cold” J-T control valves feeding the main cryogenic heat exchanger. In normal operation, the ...

Choked vapor flow conditions are very common in relief valves and control valves with very high flows, but can also occur in high velocity flare headers at piping transitions. Choked flow is also ...

Specifying Control Valves for Severe Service . Severe service applications can be the bane of an automation engineer’s existence because they often have higher than necessary maintenance and repair ...

Valves control the direction of the flow of air or various gases and also control gas pressures. The gas pressure in most medical devices is typically lower than industrial applications — often below ...
