Synopsis

Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a specific purpose. No other book on the market analyzes the use, construction, and selection of valves in such a comprehensive manner.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

This latest revision will not only be of help to piping specifying engineers, but also to process design and project engineers, and will be a useful reference for them. This book has been written to provide the Piping Specifying Engineer assistance in the selection of valves for a specific application and that meet the design parameters of the process service. This book contains much useful information on many types of valves... - Process Safety & Design, Inc., Stanley S. Grossel, President

The Valve Selection Handbooko is intended to aid professionals in the selection of valves based on application and design parameters. The fifth edition has added new material including chapters on actuators, valve-locking devices, double block and bleed ball valves and a glossary of valve terminology. Thie book is organized into ten chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Valve technology - such as valve selection criteria and valve actuators - or a specific type of valve-such as manual and check valves...The Valve Selection Handbook is recommended for engineering professionals and students who work with valves and valved systems. Its clear style and wealth of information make it an excellent choice...
