Control valves are pivotal components of municipal water systems, playing a crucial role in regulating water pressure and flow to ensure a stable supply. Selecting the appropriate valve size is not only essential for optimal functionality but also for the longevity of the valve's service life. It is equally important to consider the working environment for the personnel tasked with valve maintenance, ensuring it is conducive to efficient and safe operations. Proper sizing of control valves is paramount, as it directly influences efficiency, control precision, safety, and cost-effectiveness of the water distribution system. Mark Gimson, Director of Marketing and International Sales at Cla-Val, walks us through the features of a well-designed valve station.

In technical papers, information is available about low emissions and how aiming for the best torque on a valve packing gland is essential to optimize economic resources and environmental impact. The correct balance between sealing forced and stem friction must be reached. Inadequate torque methods result in several problems, including increased maintenance, higher leakage, and reduced packing life with the consequent waste of money and energy. Reducing energy consumption, being competitive and minimizing costs means being efficient. The best results are needed. So, once the correct packing material, geometry, and design have been chosen, the right torque choice and its controlled application on the bolts are required to reach an optimized compressive load. This is one of the most important considerations to be taken. Appropriate load and an accurate transmission to the packing must be achieved. MARIA GARCIA GORRICHATEGUI, R&D Manager of MONTERO FYE S.A, addresses torque value and tightening method in valve packing. https://lnkd.in/eHq7KQhb #Valve #Valves #Torque #Friction #Packing

As valve and process systems become more complex, especially in an offshore environment, the role of the Subject Matter Expert (SME) has increased in importance. In an offshore environment, where oil and gas reserves in shallow waters are more or less exhausted, there is more oil and gas exploration and production in deeper waters. The resulting system pressures mean that systems including piping, pumps, and valves are subject to greater pressures and pressure drops but must still function with the minimum amount of intervention. This is where consulting with an SME can be a very important tool in the process engineer's armory. Adrian Croft, Specialist Valve Engineer, discusses the role of the SME in valve selection and the offshore environment.

Conveying a substance from one place to another along a tube would be a simple affair if one never needed to control its flow. Sealing and packing valves is a serious challenge that occupies a position on the front-lines against fugitive emissions and environmental devastation. Ever more stringent environmental regulations, along with demands for high performance and low maintenance, have made the valve packing selection process more critical. Learn about the importance of valve sealing and packing in the article, written by Justin Yule, below 👇 https://lnkd.in/ej6dy_9U #Valve #Valves #Emissions #Packing #Sealing

Over the next ten years the industry will be transformed in ways which we can only predict. This transformation will occur due to the following: • Major impact of artificial intelligence • Double digit growth in AROM (Automation, Remote Operation and Maintenance) • The weaponization of the 'Industrial Internet of Wisdom (IIOW)' • Competition between valve, automation, and system suppliers The valve industry will be impacted more than most because high efficiency pattern recognition is well suited to control flow.
