Training & Development
Objectives
• By the end of this training you should :-
- - Define control valve .
- - Be aware about control valve types.
- - Be aware about control valve internal
components.
- - know control valve accessories.
- - Be aware about the problems that impact
control valve.
About Instrumentation
control valve is simply a variable orifice that is used to regulate the flow
of a process fluid according to the requirements of the process.
CONTROL VALVES TYPES
Control valves types
Ball Valve Globe Valve pinch Valve
Plug Valve
Butterfly Valve Gate Valve Diaphragm Valve Needle Valve
Air to open Air to close
Valve Body Assembly
Valve Body Assembly – Components Names
• Video & Coffee break ???
• Valve Bonnet
Extension Bonnet Extension Bonnet: A bonnet with greater
dimension between the packing box and
bonnet flange for hot or cold service.
Control Valve Actuators & Accessories
Control valve actuators translate a control signal (normally 3-to-15 psi or
4-to-20 mA) into the large force or torque that is needed to manipulate a
valve.
Three common types of actuators used :
1- pneumatic actuators (Diaphragms & Pistons).
2- Electric actuators.
3- Hydraulic actuators
Hydraulic Actuator
Diaphragm Actuator
Electrical Actuator Piston Actuator
SOLENOID VALVE
• Solenoid Valve is electrical actuated valve categorized to three types:
• 1- Direct acting .
• 2- Manual reset .
• 3- Pilot operated .
Manual Reset
Pilot operated solenoid used to switch the flow of air
Direct acting simple ON/OFF Operation
Pressure regulators
A pressure regulator is an adjustable valve
that is designed to automatically control the
pressure downstream of the regulator.
Positioners
A positioner is a device used to ensure positive
position of a valve or damper actuator.
All positioners have a feedback link from
the valve shaft, providing accurate valve
position information. Positioners can work
with linear or rotary actuation and can be
used to increase the actuation power
Linear positioner
Rotary positioner
Cavitation is a condition that occurs in liquid flow where the internal pressure of the liquid at some
point falls below the vapor pressure and vapor bubbles form and at some other point downstream
rises above the vapor pressure again. As this pressure recovers so that the bubbles collapse, and
cavitation takes place.
Flashing is a condition that occurs with liquid flow where the pressure falls below the vapor
pressure and remains below it. There are then two phases flowing (i.e. liquid and vapor) downstream.
Severe damage can occur inside a valve due to erosion caused by the impact of liquid droplets traveling
at high speeds
