Introduction (why the need for valves)
Process plants consist of hundreds, or even thousands, of control loops all networked together to produce a product to be offered for sale.
Each of these control loop is designed to keep some important process variable such as pressure, flow, level, temperature etc. within a required operation range to ensure quality of end product. Each of these loops receives and internally creates disturbances that might detrimentally affect the process.
We gather the information from sensors in field, A controller will process this info. decide what must be done to get the process back on track.
Control valve concept OBJECTIVE: Control valve is the final control element in a system.
Control valve is a power-operated device used to manipulate the fluid (gas, steam, liquid) flow rate in a process system and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point. There are two basic types of control valves :
Linear Rotary
Each type of valve has its special generic features, which may, in a given situation, be either an advantage or a disadvantage

Control valves assembly
Control valve assembly typically consists of - the valve body, the internal trim parts, an actuator to provide the motive power to operate the valve.
Valve Actuator
Positioner Valve stem

Valve positioner
A valve positioner is a air relay which is used between the controller output and the valve diaphragm. It assures exact positioning of the valve stem in accordance with controller output

Flow characteristics
The relationship between valve capacity and valve stem travel is known as the flow characteristics of the valve..

Selection criteria contd.
Body size and flow capacity Select valve type Calculate Cv required Select valve/ trim size
End connections End connection type End connection rating
21
Valve sizing coefficient Cv (basics)
Valve sizing coefficient Cv is defined as the number of US gallons per minute of water that will pass through a given restriction with a pressure drop of one psi. Cv = Q (P1- P2)/G
This is basic equation for liquid calculations, in volumetric flow Where Q - flow rate in US gpm P1 - upstream pressure in psia P2 - downstream pressure in psia G - liquid specific gravity @ flowing temp.
