Description

This course offers a foundational understanding of various types of valves, including globe, gate, ball, plug, butterfly, diaphragm, check, pinch, and safety valves. It will cover how valves are named based on their disc type, their primary functions in controlling flow, and the differences between rotary and linear motion valves.

Additionally, the course will delve into the specifics of valve actuation methods—mechanical, electrical, hydraulic, and pneumatic—and explain how these mechanisms influence valve operation. Through detailed explanations, participants will learn about the structural design, operational principles, and applications of each valve type, providing a comprehensive overview suitable for anyone starting in engineering or related fields.

Hope to see you on the course!
