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. Throttling involves reducing orifice size until all of the flow cannot pass through the orifice; bypassing involves routing part of the flow ...

Advancing its standard series, Clippard introduces a high-flow pinch valve with an extended stroke for applications that demand increased fluid flow or handling of viscous and particulate-laden ...

Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

This case study from the Waste Water Treatment Plant in Munich, Germany  shows how a capacity increase gained gained Capacity ...
