Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through the orifice; bypassing involves routing part of the flow ...

• The first step in selecting a valve is determining its function. • Review Cv or pressure drop when considering one valve versus another. • Don’t overlook maintenance requirements when specifying a ...

Like so many of the core technologies integral to automated industrial operations—such as motors, drives, and I/O—valves don’t always receive the attention they deserve in the automation arena.

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

A solenoid valve is an industrial device controlled by electromagnetism which controls fluids, adjusting the direction of the medium, flow, speed and other parameters. There are many solenoid valves ...
