LIVE VIRTUAL CLASSROOM
2KG Training Live Virtual Courses offer participants the same instructors, training systems, course materials, personal support, and face-to-face engagement with instructors and other participants that they would expect to find in a conventional classroom. The Valves: Selection, Installation & Operation Live Virtual Course brings participants together in a virtual classroom, where they receive training from an expert via a live video link. Participants are interconnected via audio and video, enabling them to interact both with the instructor and with their classmates. Learners can speak to their instructor at any time to ask questions, request assistance, and instructors can provide hands-on support.
The control of fluid flow in pipelines is a complex issue. In this course delegates are taken through the attributes and applications of the more popular valve patterns in a pipe work system. The hydraulic concepts associated with the operation of these valve types will be included. The complex subject of control valves is introduced, with an overview of functions such as pressure sustaining, reduction, rate of flow control etc. Valve actuating mechanisms are also covered as these are becoming increasingly important in the overall operation of the reticulation system.
KEY CONCEPTS
Valve orifice, Cv, and other hydraulic concepts. Control valves (overview only). Gate, globe, pinch, diaphragm, ball, butterfly valves. Materials of construction. Air release, vacuum breaker and non-return valves. Actuators.
ABOUT THE PRESENTER: JOHN TONKIN
2020 sees John's 50th year in engineering. Initially he had exposure to plant maintenance (steam, water, pneumatics, ash handling, boilers, turbines and pumping systems) and marine steam plant. A number of years in the selling, commissioning and trouble shooting of pumping systems were followed by nine years in the designing and presenting of training courses which covered the technicalities and marketing of pump sets, pipes, valves, diesel engines and basic electrical systems for pumping plant. An extended period followed in which John's career was focused on the marketing, selling and trouble shooting of pumping systems and submersible electric motors. Through his exposure to the international arena and the development and marketing of new products, John has gained a unique perspective of the fluid movement and control industry. A firm believer in the benefits of high-quality training, John has been at the forefront of training initiatives throughout his career. He can now offer your company the knowledge and skills he has gained over the years, presented in an interactive and practical manner. His courses have drawn a multitude of positive comments, many of which allude to his professional presentation style and the practical examples he offers throughout the training session.
