Safety and control valves

An important part of a safe installation is functioning valves. To achieve and guarantee this, knowledge of valves is required, with regard to use, function and installation. The course provides a good insight into how valves work and the importance of maintenance and installation of valves being carried out correctly.

Who is the course aimed at?

The training is aimed at operating personnel, maintenance personnel and designers. In short, anyone who uses valves in production, carries out maintenance work, installs new valves or selects valves.

The course is organised in cooperation with VIMAB and at their premises. There is access to well-equipped workshops where the theory covered can be immediately applied and exemplified in a good way. The course documentation contains a comprehensive general theory section on valves and their installation and methods for calculating capacity and pressure drop.

Course m�l

At the end of the course, the participant should be able to understand and handle various safety valves correctly and safely. The participant should be able to take apart and renovate a valve so that its function remains after the renovation. Operation, installation, control and above all safety are fundamental to the content.

Course length: Full day

Course content

The training provides an insight into regulations, criteria for valve and actuator selection, dimensioning in theory and practice and the different types, including advantages and disadvantages of valves that exist. The training also covers what is required for a well-functioning process and what is needed for requirement specifications regarding the choice of valve. Below you can see the elements that are included in the training:

  • Standards and regulatory requirements ? CE/PED, ATEX, building codes
  • Regulations and standards
  • Responsibility ? Manufacturer's and supplier's NL09
  • Pressure concept, pressure stroke & pressure drop ? Why does it happen and how do we avoid it?
  • Dimensioning? When is it more or less important?
  • Materials ? Most common valve materials
  • Function ? Switching off or regulating
  • Installation, operation and safety ? Dismantling and reassembly. Maintenance/repair, testing before reinstallation
  • Practical valve testing and control
  • Capacity
  • Environment and safety
  • Criteria for valve selection
  • Calibration
  • Fels�king
  • HART, Profibus
  • Spr�ngbl�ck
  • Different methods of grinding
  • Different methods for testing
  • Checkpoints during service
  • Valve parts in English and Swedish
  • Expanded reasoning on tests
  • M�t and play
  • Proof printing
  • Types of valves ? Manual, self-operated, pressure or temperature controlled. Pneumatic and electrically controlled valves. Pressure regulators, �verstr�mning, condensate drains, safety valves, etc.
  • Man�verdon
  • L�gesst�llare, 4 ? 20 mA or 3 ? 15 PSI
  • Valve characteristics
  • Shut-off valves ? Design to function
  • Shut-off valves in real life ? How do you do it and why?
  • Automation on/off ? Man�verdons and solenoid valves

Education in handling valves

At VIMAB, we are happy to share our extensive experience in valve service. We now offer qualified training and courses in the field. The starting point is that you will learn things that you can directly use in your work. Theoretical and practical handling of valves, both manual and automated, is essential knowledge for increased safety and productivity.

F�business customised course

Our training programmes are designed to give you knowledge that you can use directly at work. That's why you and the other participants steer the direction. Our course leaders have extensive industry experience, so take the opportunity to put your specific questions to an expert. The course is a natural meeting place for people with similar work tasks, which means that the exchange of knowledge between course participants is also a natural and important element of the training.
