Engineering Study: Advanced Smart Materials for Oxygen Service Control Valves-Opportunities and Innovations
Oxygen service control valves are essential components in industries where the precise and safe regulation of oxygen flow is critical. These valves are commonly used in industries such as aerospace, healthcare, chemical processing, and energy production.
Overview: Hydrogen Presentations at Valve World Düsseldorf
The Valve World show held in Dusseldorf, Germany, (December 2024) was a top draw for those involved in the deployment of hydrogen in the energy transition. This article sums up some of the key findings of several conference presentations addressing this smallest of molecules.
Desk Research: Lubricated Plug Valves
“How exactly are lubricated plug valves lubricated?” This chance question prompted some furious pounding of the keyboards recently at the Valve World Americas offices, as we strove to fill the gaps in our knowledge. Fortunately, the noise soon abated, thanks to the richly detailed explanations available on many valve supplier websites
Accuracy = Money: The High Stakes of Custody Transfer
In process control, repeatability in flow measurement is often prioritized over absolute accuracy. Engineers can tolerate some level of inaccuracy so as long as measurements remain consistent, enabling effective control.
