Precise and reliable flow is essential for any process that requires mixing, metering, dosing as well as any that need to adapt to changing process requirements and types of flow conditions.
In addition, precise flow control can minimise fluid waste, energy consumption and reduce process waste, which can help customers adapt to the sweeping trend towards efficiency and waste reduction contained in local and global initiatives and mandates.
A new ball valve design provides that reliability at lower cost compared to the more traditional control valves. Ideal for water treatment, power generation, oil and gas and chemical processing, the new design is less costly to service and maintain over its service life.
Flow rate basics
Generally, flow rate increases with an increase in differential pressure. However, operating a control valve is not as straightforward as this statement may initially seem.
As a control valve is cycled, the system curve is altered by changing flow losses. Understanding the dynamic between pressure drops and flow rates during control valve operations is critical for proper system...
