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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

After working on large subsea offshore oil and gas drilling projects for several decades, Santiago Gomez, president for Ocean Edge Services, believed he had learned the nuances of the complex ...

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, ...

Choked flow in control valves is a subject of serious concern for industrial users. The term is usually associated with destructive process conditions that can damage valve internals or expose ...

Cavitation is the implosion of tiny vapor bubbles in a liquid when the static pressure reaches the vapor pressure of the specific liquid. This happens when, due to a high pressure differential across ...
