    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.

    Valve Supplier Guidance Needed To Find Alternate Sources of Energy

    Valves are a critical component in the production of various fuels that are currently being used to replace Russian oil and gas. The free world is united in a program to eliminate Russian energy purchases. People are motivated in a way not seen since the OPEC oil embargo in 1973.

    Important Overview of Check Valve Dynamics

    Design engineers of aerospace propulsion systems are always challenged with optimizing the performance of their system. As program requirements firm up, system design engineers canvass the industry to ascertain the availability of components that can improve the system performance. One of the areas for improvements are check valves.
