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.

ISA recently published Fluid Mechanics of Control Valves: How Valves Control Your Process by Hans D. Baumann, Ph.D., PE — a world-renowned expert on control valve technology who is credited with more ...

Tips process engineers can leverage to minimize the time spent selecting actuators for different applications while still maximizing the reliability and durability of valves and automation mechanisms.

In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...

Advancing its standard series, Clippard introduces a high-flow pinch valve with an extended stroke for applications that demand increased fluid flow or handling of viscous and particulate-laden ...

Beyond the wheel, the most important mechanical equipment serving humanity is the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps make modern quality of life possible. Turn on a faucet and a centrifugal turbine ...
