Equipment designers find that proportional control technology is ideal where precise performance is required in variable pressure or flow applications. Often perceived as more complicated than other ...

Pressure relief valves (PRVs) are a critical line of defense for pressure vessel protection in the power industry. Generating facilities worldwide depend upon these devices to sense and quickly ...

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, ...

Like so many of the core technologies integral to automated industrial operations—such as motors, drives, and I/O—valves don’t always receive the attention they deserve in the automation arena.

[Editor's note: This is the second installment of a two-part series on head pressure control.] In part 1 of this article, on the fundamentals of head pressure control ("Fundamentals of Head Pressure ...

3D printing techniques enable quieter, higher performing designs for final control elements. Control valve noise is a problem in many plant environments. The sound is created by very high pressure ...
