Fumoto's SX-series oil drain valves are comprised of the through bolt and oil-flow control body; the through bolt design can be tightened independent of the valve body Fumoto's SX-series oil drain ...

Control Devices, a portfolio company of HBM Holdings, today announced the acquisition of Sherwood Valve. The acquisition expands Control Devices' flow control portfolio and strengthens its position ...

The Fumoto SX Series is comprised of two distinct, fully integrated parts: the through bolt and oil-flow control body. The SX can rotate 360 degrees, which allows orientation to achieve a smaller ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

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.

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, ...

Oil field operators can use several practical equations for calculating flow rates of natural gas through venturi gas-lift valves. For critical flow, this analysis derived such equations from a ...

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 ...

Heavy oil (API gravity =22°) is dominated by high viscosity, asphaltene content, and temperature-sensitive rheology. These properties drive pressure losses, sand mobilization risk, emulsion formation, ...
