In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

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 ...

Control valves experience significant reaction loads when they regulate choked flow. The highly restrictive, complex flow path of existing severe-service valves dissipates the forces from ...

Expansion of flow control solutions across industrial gas, specialty gas, high-purity gas, and medical gas applications. ST. LOUIS, Jan. 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Control Devices, a portfolio company ...

Plant engineers and technicians are frequently asked to tune the controller when a control loop’s process value has prolonged or significant excursions from the set point. But in many instances, no ...

Bypass pipes, accompanied by a three-way control valve, are often seen in hydronic systems at both served loads (e.g., reheat coils) as well as at primary equipment (e.g., cooling towers). Reasons for ...
