Yes, The Valve Industry Can Get Hacked Too: Here’s What You Need To Know

Smart valve systems are vulnerable to cyber threats, similar to most systems and technologies. Often in the valve industry, this threat is overlooked or brushed aside. However, it is important to consider ways to prevent this from occurring to a valve system.

Addressing Low Pressure Transients

Negative pressures often do not get the focus they deserve when evaluating a piping system. It is more natural to be concerned with the maximum pressure ratings of a pipe.

How Does a Valve Work?

Block valves, also known as isolation or on-off valves, are the most common type of valve one can find in an industrial plant.

Maintenance Free Overtorque Clutches: Preventative Measures, Methods, and Mistakes

Torquing is a force of energy which allows rotation in machinery. The misuse and maximization on this force results in the damage of the equipment.

The PVF Industry: A Dynamic Career Path An Interview with Courtney Rau – Global...

Between engaging Chevron Business Units and Major Projects on valve and pipe procurement and contracting strategies, Global Project Materials Manager Courtney Rau took the time to speak to Valve World Americas Journal about her work in the PVF industry.

Gasket Test Data VS Gasket Performance

Every day engineers scour the internet and marketing brochures looking for gasket material test data. Perhaps they are working to design a new heat exchanger and require the crucial gasket design factors. Or maybe they are working to solve a challenging application issue at their plant.

Commissioning Ball Valves: Planning, Preventative Measures, and Post-Installation

Ball valves act as on-off systems intended to control liquid flow. They have a hollow interior with a pivoting ball and are often commissioned for large and complex piping systems.

The Case for Better Bolting Traceability in Valves

Fasteners – screws, nuts, bolts, or studs – are used in many industries for structural and pressure-containing applications. Regarding the latter, bolted connections failures in oil & gas facilities are responsible for many serious incidents, such as spills, fires, and loss of life and limb.

Multiple Valve Forecasts Needed in Uncertain Times

Managers of valve companies urgently need a more flexible strategy based on a range of market forecasts. The impact of COVID-19 and the Chinese tariff war pale in comparison to the crisis in Eastern Europe.

Valve Automation Bracketry The Key To Efficient Functioning Of Automated Valve Packages

Proper linkages of all the components that comprise automated valves are critical to the performance of process control operations.
