It takes a large number of control valves to run a power plant, and while some valves are more critical to plant operations than others, it always follows that when a severe service valve fails, the ...

Most severe service applications with liquids involve flashing, cavitation, and/or erosive solids entrained in the fluid. As liquids move through the confined space of a control valve trim, the ...

This volume is part of the Practical Guide Series developed and published by the ISA, the International Society for Measurement and Control. The Practical Guides were conceived because of a shortage ...

Control valves experience significant reaction loads when they regulate choked flow. The highly restrictive, complex flow path of existing severe-service valves dissipates the forces from ...
