Online Valve Sizing and Selection
Description
The ValveWorks program improves the sizing and selection process for globe and rotary control valves based on the ISA 75.01 international standard.
An exclusive program, ValveWorks is an easy-to-use online system that safely maps out users’ solutions based on application requirements and process conditions. Control valves are sized accurately for optimum control, providing minimal energy loss and maximum life expectancy, without excessive maintenance.
Through step-by-step instructions, users can navigate through more than 100,000 combinations of construction attributes, factoring in requirements like flow rate, inlet pressure and temperature, pressure drop, vapor and critical pressure, predicted noise, and more.
The program also allows customers to further customize valves, selecting carbon steel or stainless steel for the body, threaded or flanged ends, pressure rating, trim material, and accessories. The process repeats on the actuator side so that when users are finished, they have a detailed Sizing Report and optional Flow Curve Report. This comprehensive report illustrates how well specific choices will perform in a specific application and documents sound selections, which are necessary during a project’s specification and procurement stages.
The performance of the valve over the full range of control is graphically shown and all sizing and proposals can be printed to keep on record. Users that are also registered as sales channel partners have additional access to pricing options, allowing further evaluation of their selections before creating a formal quote with ValveWorks or making a purchase.
