About Training
This is a comprehensive course on Valve Selection, Design, Manufacturing, Operation, Maintenance, Technical Evaluation, Procurement, Testing and Installation of Isolating Valves including, Ball & Gate Valves used in the process and refinery industries.
The course will provide details on the relevant International Design, Testing standards, such as API6D, API600, ASME B16.34 and ISO5208. Covering Process and Utility services at elevated, normal and cryogenic temperatures.
The Manufacturing/Testing Procedures essential to create a valve that meets Industry Standards, will be reviewed and discussed.
There will be numerous examples and case studies, presented to show compatibility of materials, both metallic and non-metallic, for pressure containment, strength and sealing capability.
Delegates will be exposed to specialist sub suppliers of sealing materials, end connectors and testing and valve refurbishment services.
