-------------------------------------------------------------------------

                                          MAJOR COURSE UPDATE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear student,

We are currently in the process of updating the course.

  1. We are implementing:

    1. a synchronized high quality english male voiceover (section 1 through 4 already updated)

    2. revised english subtitles (section 1 through 4 already updated)

  2. A technical quiz is being added at the end of each section to help you test your knowledge (in progress)

  3. Typical valve cross-sectional views and 3D animations are being uploaded to assist in understanding how specific valves work (done)

We are confident that these major updates will undoubtedly take our course to the next level and help you emphasize the key learning points.

-----------------------------

Dear student,

Valves of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout petroleum refining, petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering.

This course is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of construction details and functioning of valves. This understanding is a prerequisite for successful operation of your plant and piping system.

The course includes extensive graphics, 3D animations and cross-sectional views to give you a virtual practical exposure on valves.

In this course, you will :

1. Discover the major types of valves used in the process industry

2. Learn their components, their function & their operation

3. Have the opportunity to dismantle many valves and assemble them using 3D models, cross-sectional views and 3D animations

4. Also included in this course, an in-depth discussion on actuators and control valves. You will learn how control valves are used to regulate the flow of a fluid. Concepts such as head loss, pressure drop, valve coefficient "Cv", flow resistance, valve curves and cavitation will be presented.

5. Finally, the course introduces you to valve symbols and representation in engineering drawings such as Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID's). Standards and conventions that apply to valves and their accessories will be discussed in details. You will learn how valve status and failure modes are depicted in engineering drawings.

So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.

Also remember, as enrolled student you will have unlimited access to this material and one-on-one instructor support. So feel free to ask us for help in the Q&A section when needed. It will be our pleasure to help you and make sure you are learning valuable information with us.

Hope to see you there

Cheers,

I bought the course to better understand how are valves put into process lines. It's a good introduction to understand the different types of valves so far.

The automated voice is annoying and hard to follow up with, the visuals pictures and videos are good and clear.

Seslendirme çok kötü, sonuna kadar izleyeyim dedim belki bir şeyler anlatır diye ancak kesinlikle berbat, tam bir zaman kaybı ):

The course is very good. Each topic is cleary explained. It would have been more complete if it wasn´t limited to just US costumary units. Udemy studends come from all over the world, using international system units (SI) would be more appropiate. It is a pity that some image of the valve catalogs are not of good quality.

I have found the course very useful in familiarizing myself with fundamental valve knowledge. The voice over should be re-done with AI, for a smoother, more human interaction.

the course is good in general but it is not as good as I thought. In spite of the course name, it provides only superficial information about the valve.

He avanzado al 50% del curso. Hasta ahora plantea un buen panorama sobre las características básicas de los tipos más comunes de válvulas. Refuerza las explicaciones teóricas con los gráficos que están bien diseñados y acompañan todas la secciones del curso. Permite conocer los componentes de cada tipo de válvula y la forma en que pueden ser desarmadas.

This is a well detailed piece of information, It will make a lot of sense, you will enjoy it more if you have a field knowlege and i recommend this course to all beginners.

Good introduction. I was following the narrative on the right-side pane. Good pace to highlight the discussion. Noticed some intent words need to be checked for spelling, e.g. "desk" versus the intended "disk". As I went further into the program, e.g., "gate valves", notice additional transcript errors in communication versus what is displayed on the screen. Minor, perhaps, but downgrades the otherwise good presentation. Examples: gland not, when this should state gland nut, and thrust color, where the language should be thrust collar. The display on the screen is correct. Additionally, I anticipated to see some mention of the use of a wheel wrench, at least early in the presentation to assist a user in opening a valve. This wrench provides an even torque across the stem.

It is a nicely designed course with proper explanation, easy & effective representation, examples and technical terms with 2D & 3D models. It covers from very basic to the selection of a valve in the field.
