Instrumentation and Control Temperature Pressure Flow Level and Position Indication Overview Instrumentation is the art of measuring the value of some plant parameters, for example, temperature, pressure, flow, or level to name a few, and supplying a signal that is proportional to the measured parameter. The output signals are standard signals and can then be processed by other equipment to provide indication, alarms or automatic control. This course covers five modules  more...

Valves This 3-hour audio online course covers valve types and selections. The main focus of the course is in-line process valves, such as gate valves, globe valves, ball valves and check valves. Additionally, some specialty type valves are discussed in detail, including pinch valves. There's even coverage of a valve that many engineers with years of operating experience have likely never heard of - the  more...

Valve Fundamentals Overview Valves are used to regulate the flow of fluids in piping systems. They are used to throttle flow, shut-off flow, reduce pressure, relieve pressure and prevent backflow. Valves are one of the simplest components in most piping systems, but the importance of proper valve selection cannot be overemphasized. Premature valve failure can result in loss of fluid pressure containment, which  more...
