Every engineering process requires the ability to stop, start, and regulate flow. Valves are thus a fundamental part of any system that conveys gases, liquids, or solids. But what are valves? How do they work? And why do they have such weird names, e.g., butterfly valve? This course will help you answer all these questions and many more.
This course will give you all the information you need to know about each valve type and can also be used later as a refresher course. Irrespective of your engineering background, this course will enrich your engineering career, because valves are truly everywhere!
Interactive 3D models are used extensively to show you the inner workings of various types of valves. The course is packed with 2D images, 2D animations, and 3D animations.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:
- Distinguish between rotary-motion and linear-motion valves.
- Identify the construction features and components of valves.
- Describe the functions of valve actuators.
- Explain pressure drop across a valve.
- Interpret valve response time.
- Describe the significance of valve travel length.
- Differentiate among ball, butterfly, diaphragm, gate, globe, pinch, plug, and check valves.
Video on Demand
This course is a recorded version of a live lecture and will be streamed directly to your computer's media player. Our format is generally compatible with media players included with all computers and mobile devices. After watching the video presentation, you will return to your account to take the online quiz. While this is a recording of a live presentation, please note that this recording will not qualify as a "live" or "interactive" continuing education activity in those jurisdictions where it is required.
Certificate of Completion
You will be able to immediately print a certificate of completion after passing a multiple-choice quiz consisting of 15 questions. PDH credits are not awarded until the course is completed and quiz is passed.
