What are you going to learn in 41 lectures and 8 Quizzes? (All videos with sub-title/closed caption)
The course starts with essential topics of valves and moves toward the advanced concept of the valve. Initial sections cover fundamentals, classification/categorization of valves, and different components of the valves, such as different types of valve bodies, stems, bonnets, actuators, and a whole lot of internal and external parts. Equipped with this knowledge, you are ready to learn about different types of valves.
Core sections of the course cover all the main types of valves used in any process plant piping. You will learn about individual valve types, different types within that category, internal and external components, and their specialty in detail. Gate, Globe, Check, Plug, Ball, Butterfly, Needle, Diaphragm, and Pinch Valve.
You will also learn about Safety and Relief valves, including Pressure Safety valves (PSV), Pressure Vacuum Relief Valves (PVRV), and Specialty valves such as Through Conduit Gate valves, pressure seal valves, knife gate valves, double block and bleed valves.
An overview of the material, manufacturing process, and standards & specifications will fine-tune your knowledge of valves.
In Quality Control and Inspection sections, you will learn about the shell, closer, backseat, pneumatic, hydro, fire safe, cryogenic, pop-up, visual, dimensional, and marking requirements for individual valve types. You will also learn which standard to use for testing. What are the acceptance criteria? And lots of other details.
At the end of the course, your skill and knowledge will make you confident that you can give the lecture on the valve at your workplace and go for inspection and testing at the valve manufacturer location even if you have not seen the valve earlier.
I know we are all short of time, so I have covered only the most valuable information in this course and tried my best to keep this course short.
So, you have more time to enjoy the things you like most.
