This course provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanical design and components of valves, focusing on globe valves. Participants will learn about the external and internal parts of a valve, including the actuator, stem, bonnet, flanges, and the sealing arrangements.
The course will cover different types of valve actuators (pneumatic, hydraulic, manual, and electric) and delve into the operation of a hand-operated valve, including the principles of opening and closing, and the concept of 'righty tighty, lefty loosey'.
By examining the valve's cross-section, students will gain insights into the internal mechanics, such as the role of gland packing, the significance of the disc and seat, and the importance of maintaining a clean contact surface to prevent leakage.
Hope to see you on the course!
