Every engineering process requires the ability to stop, start, and regulate (throttle) flow. Valves are a fundamental part of any system that conveys gases, liquids, or solids. But what are valves? How do they work? And why do they have such weird names e.g. butterfly valve?
This course will help you answer all these questions and many more!
The course will give you all the information you need to know about each valve type. Irrespective of your engineering background (oil and gas, chemical engineering, HVAC, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering etc.), this course will enrich your engineering career…because valves are everywhere!
