He is known internationally as a valve specialist and is an expert on aerodynamic noise of gases and he is a frequent contributor to the NEWSMAX Magazine INSIDERS website.

  3. Flow coefficient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_coefficient

    The use of the flow coefficient offers a standard method of comparing valve capacities and sizing valves for specific applications that is widely accepted by industry. The general definition of the flow coefficient can be expanded into equations modeling the flow of liquids, gases and steam using the discharge coefficient.

  4. Control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_valve

    A control valve is a valve used to control fluid flow by varying the size of the flow passage as directed by a signal from a controller. [1] This enables the direct control of flow rate and the consequential control of process quantities such as pressure , temperature , and liquid level.

  6. Shutdown valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shutdown_valve

    High recovery valves are valves that lose little energy due to little flow turbulence. Flow paths are straight through. Rotary control valves, butterfly valve and ball valves are good examples. For air intake shut down, two distinct types are commonly utilized, i.e. butterfly valves and swing gate or guillotine valves. Because diesel engines ...

  7. Pressure regulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pressure_regulator

    The inlet pressure gauge will indicate this pressure. The gas then passes through the normally open pressure control valve orifice and the downstream pressure rises until the valve actuating diaphragm is deflected sufficiently to close the valve, preventing any more gas from entering the low pressure side until the pressure drops again.

  9. Flow control valve - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_control_valve

    The most common final control element in the process control industries is the control valve. The control valve manipulates a flowing fluid, such as gas, steam, water, or chemical compounds, to compensate for the load disturbance and keep the regulated process variable as close as possible to the desired set point.
