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.

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 ...

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, ...

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, ...

WENZHOU, ZHEJIANG PROVINCE, CHINA, January 19, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In an era where industrial infrastructure ...

Control Devices, a portfolio company of HBM Holdings, today announced the acquisition of Sherwood Valve. The acquisition expands Control Devices' flow control portfolio and strengthens its position ...

During one of our never-ending technical discussions, Jim Grubbs at Jim Grubbs Motorsports (JGM) suggested that we take a look at the flow difference between 30- and 45-degree valve seats. While ...

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 ...
