What you will learn

Understand valves and control valves working principles for successful operation of your plant and piping systems

Understand valve construction details (bonnet, stem, disk, seat, packing, body, etc)

Know the characteristics and applications for each valve type (ball, plug, gate, pinch, butterfly, diaphragm, check, needle...)

Know how to choose the correct valve for a certain application

Know how to dismantle and assemble all types of valves using 3D and 2D models

Identify and know the principles of operation of common valve actuators (pneumatic, hydraulic, electrical, etc)

Understand how single acting and double acting pneumatic actuators work through graphics and 3D animations

Understand the principle of fail open (FO) and fail close (FC) actuators

Know how to convert a single acting spring return actuator to a double acting actuator and vice versa

Know how to convert a fail close actuator to a fail open actuator and vice versa

Be more innovative in your solutions to valve and control valve problems

Have an organized approach to the procedure of valve sizing in accordance with the ANSI & ISA recommendations

Be able to size valves for any flow conditions likely to be found in a process plant

Have a general notion about the confidence to be placed in the sizing result conclusions

Understand safety valve manufacturers’ literature better and understand their jargon

Become more aware of the potential benefits and pitfalls of the currently available safety valve technology

Understand the concept of "Air-to-push-up" and Air-to-push-down"

Understand the concept of "direct-acting" and "reverse-acting"

Why take this course?

它 appears that you've provided a comprehensive overview of what students can expect from an online course on control valve sizing and selection offered by WR Training. The course is structured into several parts, each focusing on different aspects of control valves, actuators, sizing, symbols, and practical applications. It also includes interactive elements like quizzes to reinforce learning. The course promises to equip students with the necessary skills to handle process plants and piping systems effectively. It emphasizes hands-on problem-solving, real-world examples, and practical exercises that can be applied directly to the student's work. A key component of the course is the Valve Sizing Excel Spreadsheet, which serves as an invaluable tool for calculating various parameters related to valve sizing, such as flow coefficients (Cv), maximum flow rates, pressure drops, and more. This spreadsheet is designed to facilitate the application of sizing equations and numerical constants directly within Excel, making it easier for students to perform these calculations without manual errors. Here's a summary of what the course offers: 1. **Control Valves and Actuators** - Understanding different types of valves and actuators. - **Actuator Interaction**: Learning through interactive sessions with control valves and actuators in various applications scenarios simulation. 2. **Practical Problem-Solving** - Real-life problems involving control valves and actuators. - **Control Valve Sizing Calculations** (Learning Objects): Components that need to be sized correctly for control valves and actuators to function optimally. 3. **Valve Actuator Diagrammatic Symbolic Representation** - Visual representation of control valves and actuators, including diagrams, symbols, and schematics. 4. **Valve Actuator Diagrammatic Symbolic Representation Interactive Exercises** - Engaging interactive exercises with control valves and actuators diagrammatic symbols. 5. **Control Valve Sizing Calculations Quiz Interactive Testing** - Taking quizzes or interactive tests to check understanding of control valves and actuators, including sizing calculations. 6. **Control Valve Actuator Diagrammatic Symbolic Representation Downloadable Resources** - Accessing downloadable resources, such as diagrams, symbols, spreadsheets, templates, manuals, handbooks, or other learning materials. 7. **Valve Sizing Spreadsheet Workings Mechanisms** - Using the Valve Sizing Spreadsheet for calculations related to valve sizing for liquids and vapors. 8. **Valve Actuator Diagrammatic Symbolic Representation Course Structure** - Understanding the course structure, including modules lessons units. 9. **Course Content Learning Outcomes** - Achieving specific learning outcomes after enrollment in the course. 10. **Valve Sizing Spreadsheet Instructions for Use and Download** - Following instructions for using and downloading the Valve Sizing Spreadsheet. The course is designed to cater to the diverse needs of students who are interested in control valves and actuators. It provides a solid foundation and practical skills that can be applied across various industries. Lastly, it's important to note that the provided Valve Sizing Spreadsheet is an Excel workbook that includes Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) subroutines, which must be enabled in order for the macros to function properly. Additionally, there is a disclaimer stating that the spreadsheet is provided "as is," and that any express or implied warranties are disclaimed, including but not limited to merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. Users are cautioned to use this tool responsibly and at their own risk, with an understanding of the limitations associated with its use.

All cut into too many small videos...interrupts attention as often as the videos are being changed. Would have also loved to be able to control the speed of the presentation. I find it currently quite slow.

I am satisfied with the sections covered so far, and the contents are well explained particularly the 3-D animation helps to understand the whole concept. The only suggestion is to minimize the questions, to allow fast transition to new sections. Also may be nice to show the valve symbols as normally used in practical scenarios such as P&ID, which would help in their identification. Overall I am satisfied with the course.

So far I have gone through two chapters and I am very much satisfied with explanation and course content. And I hope by the end of all chapters i'll become fully confident in what i'm learning which should boost my career growth. Also by the end of the course i'll be surely ready to mark five stars. Thanks dear WR training for your hard work. Adkham
