Successfully completing control valve projects

For decades, selecting and sizing control valves was a complex and time-consuming task.
Only large control valve manufacturers provided the necessary tools and they were often restricted to specialists with deep technical expertise.
However, modern online control valve sizing and selection tools have dramatically changed the landscape, making the process more accessible and efficient.
Today, valve professionals can avoid spending hours crunching numbers or navigating complex equations.
Instead, they can use intuitive software to select the right valve for each specific application.
This shift in technology not only simplifies the process, but it also improves accuracy, reducing the risk of operational inefficiencies or system failures.
The evolution of valve sizing and selection
Before the advent of online tools, valve professionals relied heavily on printed tables from manufacturers.
These tables provided essential information such as flow coefficient (Cv) and flow rates for specific pressure drops.
However, critical factors like aerodynamic noise, flow velocity and special flowing conditions...
