Shut-Off Valves
This training module is essential for all personnel directly involved in the installation, maintenance, and testing of valves. The training provides an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of valve mechanics, operational reliability, and best practices for testing.
Training Objectives:
- Understand the purpose and function of shut-off valves.
- Comprehend the operating principles of shut-off valves.
- Gain insight into the most important application areas for shut-off valves.
- Identify key considerations and common issues related to valve installation.
- Understand which maintenance activities are permitted / performed safely.
Typical One-Day Training Topics (Customizable)
- Introduction, terminology, functions (differences between DIN and ANSI)
- Key design, testing, and acceptance standards for shut-off valves
- Valve designs: gate, globe, ball, plug, and butterfly valves
- Multi-turn versus quarter-turn valves
- Shut-off valves versus control valves
- Sealing principles – soft-seated versus metal-seated designs
- Operational influences – pressure, temperature, medium, and switching frequency
- Actuation technologies – manual, pneumatic, electric, and hydraulic
- Inspection, overhaul, and repair cycles
- inspection and the decision between repair or replacement
Note: Thanks to our modular training concept, all course content can be seamlessly combined and redistributed across modules and specific subject areas.
