The danger of overextending budget or completion times (or both) is constant, hence tight management of the project is constantly required. It is therefore interesting to look at how large engineering projects are developed and how valves are incorporated into them.

This article discusses a technology approach of design & development of Knife Gate Valves consistent to the AWWA C-520 industry standard. It also describes AWWA C-520 testing requirements and an approach to qualification that goes well beyond.

It is human nature that what does not trouble one, should not worry one. But, it is critical to think about how many times during field operations we evaluate or examine functionality of valves. Precautions can be made for field maintenance of valves in special cases.

Any engineer or maintenance manager must consider a litany of valve choices for placement in their various processes. For example, critical service valves are not limited to high pressure and high temperature environments.

Water is used by homeowners, agriculture, and industry. The quantity used in residences is just a small percent of the total amount consumed. Power plants alone use ten times as much water as residential and commercial establishments.

In any modern power production facility, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of various isolation valves. In traditional thermal power production, many of these are in high pressure / high temperature service and draw the highest level of attention. These critical valves are often in thermally cyclic service and have a special set of demands associated with their applications.
