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 ...

SARASOTA, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Helios Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: HLIO) (“Helios”), a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic controls technology, introduces cartridge valve ...

• The first step in selecting a valve is determining its function. • Review Cv or pressure drop when considering one valve versus another. • Don’t overlook maintenance requirements when specifying a ...

If you suddenly have the need for a two-way, flow control valve — from a valve-selection standpoint — what kind of questions do you ask yourself? Many, perhaps, don’t ask any questions and may make ...

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, ...

The EGV Series high-flow poppet valves are electronically piloted versions of the company’s GV Series valves. The valves come in 1/8-in. NPT ported and manifold mount and use 10 or 15-mm valves.

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...
