Valves are used to regulate the flow of fluids in piping systems by throttling flow, shutting off flow, reducing pressure, relieving pressure, and preventing backflow. Valves are one of the simplest components in most piping systems, but the importance of proper valve selection cannot be overemphasized. Premature valve failure can result in loss of fluid pressure containment, which often leads to undesirable consequences.
Before attempting to select a valve, the engineer should first gain a basic understanding of each type of valve and how it operates. This course covers the fundamentals of valves, including the different types of valves commercially available and how they operate.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the purpose of valves in fluid systems.
- Identify the basic components of valves.
- Compare the construction, operation, and relative merits of different throttling and shutoff valves.
- Classify common types of check valves.
- Distinguish between the construction and operating characteristics of relief valves and safety valves.
- Describe the construction and operating principles of different types of valve actuators.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 25 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
