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.
Specific Knowledge or Skill Obtained
This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Rotary and Linear Motion Valves
