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.

ValveFittingStore, a leading provider of high-quality industrial fluid control solutions, has announced a major ...

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 ...

An oscillating control valve may appear to be the source of control instability and repair efforts are usually focused only there. When this fails to solve the issue, further investigation often ...

3D printing techniques enable quieter, higher performing designs for final control elements. Control valve noise is a problem in many plant environments. The sound is created by very high 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 ...

Equipment designers find that proportional control technology is ideal where precise performance is required in variable pressure or flow applications. Often perceived as more complicated than other ...

Valves are essential elements for controlling fluid system performance. Virtually every fluid-power system requires some type of valve. In a hydraulic system, valves may control pressure, flow to an ...
