Microfluidic technology has developed greatly in recent years, enabling multiple analysis systems to be placed on a microfluidic chip. However, microfluidic large-scale integration of control elements ...

A worksheet that calculates control valve installed gain can be part of any control valve selection process. For many years, the author has used, and promoted the use of, control valve installed flow ...

Hydraulic control systems are pivotal in modern engineering, enabling precise manipulation of fluid power for applications ranging from industrial machinery to aerospace actuators. The dynamics of ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

The VED03M direct-operated four-way proportional-control valves conform to NFPA D03 and ISO 4401 mounting standards. The valves control direction and flow rate based on the current supplied to the ...

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, ...

A single power plant uses hundreds of valves to control almost every aspect of its operation. Valves, in conjunction with a controlling actuator, are used for pollution control, feed water, cooling ...

Alina has been enthusiastic about vehicles her entire life, and even from an early age found herself itching to get behind the wheel. Through high school and college, she could be found reading ...
