    Level control valve of steam condensate pot

    Hi, For controlling condensate level in a LP steam condensate flash drum we are using a globe valve 1-1/2" in a 4" pipe. Calculation shows that flashing occures inside the valve. Any suggestion for retrofitting the existing trim and or changing the piping layout. Process conditions are P1=40.6...

    Catalyst mixing tank mltipoint temperature

    Hi, For preparing catalyst we are using a 7' ID by 9' T/T Carbon Steel mixing tank with agitator at around 30 % height of the vesssel from the bottom. Vessel is vertical. We are going to install temperature element to measure and control the fluid (mixed) temperature at 25 (±5) deg C. A 4"...

    FLOW ELEMENT AND CONTROL VALVE

    Hi, Could anybody brief me about why we normally put Orifice plate upstream of the associated flow control valve in the flow loops. Is this because of upstream requirement of the orifice plate?

    Control valve stroking time estimation

    1- How can I estimation a ball valve full stroking time with spring return piston actuator. Any formula or guide line. The valve is in ON/OFF application for depressurizing a reactor. 2- Does it stroking time differ if two actuator relieve through the same solenoid?
