PREREQUISITES

To successfully complete this course, the following prerequisites are required:

- Understanding of mechanical systems and applications



This course is designed for individuals who need information on the types of valves and actuator used as control elements, valve components, and valve applications. At the completion of this course, you will be able to identify the types of valve operators:  describe various types of valve actuators, discuss possible problems with valve actuators and positioners, describe the troubleshooting steps to repair faulty valve actuators, and state the purpose of bench set information of a pneumatic actuator. You will also be equipped to list and explain valve markings: the function of a valve positioner, state when a valve positioner should and should not be used, explain how to set up a valve positioner, explain the importance of valve position indication and feedback, and discuss how valve position information impacts control of a process, or system.

This course is designed to provide you with hands-on skills with exercises for equipment setup and evaluation
