Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

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 ...

FLUID POWER CONNECTORS & COMPONENTS ULTRA-MINIATURE PRESSURE COMPENSATED FLOW CONTROL VALVE WITH LOW FRICTION DIAPHRAGM, BESWICK ENGINEERING CO. INC. Some applications need flow control valves that ...

If you suddenly have the need for a two-way, flow control valve — from a valve-selection standpoint — what kind of questions do you ask yourself? Many, perhaps, don’t ask any questions and may make ...

Equipment designers find that proportional control technology is ideal where precise performance is required in variable pressure or flow applications. Often perceived as more complicated than other ...

In pressure relief systems, accurately estimating temperature changes during fluid flow is vital for relief piping ...
