Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

Shenzhen Jewellok Technology Co., Ltd., a trusted manufacturer and supplier of advanced gas control components, today announced an upgraded and expanded product line featuring its latest Stainless ...

Beyond the wheel, the most important mechanical equipment serving humanity is the centrifugal pump. Centrifugal pumps make modern quality of life possible. Turn on a faucet and a centrifugal turbine ...

Piezo elements are electromechanical transducers that convert mechanical forces (pressure, tensile stress or acceleration) into voltages. The inverse piezoelectric effect, precisely the opposite, ...

New research has improved control of slack line flow in steep slope liquids pipelines, whether during commissioning, steady operations, or in the wake of an accident. New research has improved control ...
