Online Course on Control Valves for an Instrumentation Engineering Professional

This course is designed for instrumentation design professionals who want to develop practical skills with control valves and motor-operated valves (MOVs). It starts with a clear explanation of what a control valve is and its key applications in process control. You will learn the different types of control valves and how their major components work together. The course covers classification, common failure modes, and the essential characteristics that define a control valve’s performance. Participants will gain knowledge on specifying valves correctly and understanding the various categories available. Detailed insights into the components of control valves and common industry terms will be provided. The course also explores important phenomena such as cavitation, flashing, and choked flow. Techniques to reduce control valve noise will be explained practically. You will learn about motor-operated valves and their operation. Key differences between control valves and on/off MOVs will be highlighted. Real-world examples and application tips will make the concepts easier to understand. Finally, the course prepares participants for interviews with commonly asked questions on these topics.
