Pressure regulators, more commonly known as pressure-reducing valves, keep the output pressure constant in compressed-air systems no matter how the input pressure or output flow changes. They contain ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Flow is controlled by either throttling or diverting it. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through ...

Can you remember the first car or motorbike you owned? The irresistible look and feel of its solid steel construction, and your proud feeling during the first drive through your brightly lit city.

Feedwater control valves play a critical role in boiler operation. One important parameter of their design is the pressure drop at the rated condition as well as off-design conditions. However, ...

To address the persistent threat of mechanical failure, innovations in engineering design have led to the development of ...
