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 ...

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, ...

The Growing Importance of Electric Gate Valves in Modern Infrastructure Electric gate valves are preferred in large-diameter pipelines for their straight-through flow channel, which minimizes pressure ...

A worksheet that calculates control valve installed gain can be part of any control valve selection process. For many years, the author has used, and promoted the use of, control valve installed flow ...

A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

Improve analyzer performance with intrinsically safe flow and pressure control solutions for oil and gas applications.
