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, ...

The compact VTOC features 48 pilot valves controlling up to 96 process control points in gas box applications.

Like so many of the core technologies integral to automated industrial operations—such as motors, drives, and I/O—valves don’t always receive the attention they deserve in the automation arena.

Cryogenic valves play a critical role in industries that store, transport, and process liquefied gases such as LNG, LPG, ...

Food and beverage applications must meet a variety of process temperature and pressure control requirements to maintain the tight temperatures that ensure product quality and safety. Selecting the ...

Proper valve sizing and selection saves facilities money by improving plant uptime and decreasing maintenance costs. One way to improve the selection of valves for a particular application is to take ...

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.

Process Components offers a broad portfolio of products and services ranging from the original and world-renowned Mucon iris diaphragm valve (IDV) through to spares and consumables for all manner of ...

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 ...
