Pipeline and Terminal Valves & Actuators

This course provides a comprehensive understanding of valves and actuators used in pipeline and terminal facilities. Participants learn the fundamentals, functions, and applications of different types of pipeline and terminal valves. The course covers valve selection based on pressure, temperature, fluid characteristics, flow requirements, and operating conditions. It explains commonly used valves such as ball, gate, globe, check, butterfly, and control valves. Participants understand valve construction, materials, pressure classes, end connections, and sealing arrangements. The course introduces pneumatic, hydraulic, electric, and electro-hydraulic actuators along with their applications. It covers actuator sizing, torque requirements, fail-safe arrangements, and valve automation principles. Participants learn about valve installation, operation, inspection, maintenance, troubleshooting, and common failure modes. The course also addresses valves used in terminals for loading, unloading, isolation, emergency shutdown, and flow control applications. It provides practical knowledge to improve valve reliability, operational safety, maintenance effectiveness, and overall pipeline integrity.
