INTRODUCTION
If you want to be Engineer, or you are an existing engineer, want develop yourself, this course will be the best to you, in this course you will learn everything there is to know about valves , and Valve repair which is a complex and difficult aspect of industrial repair, meaning that mechanics wishing to master this concept must have extensive training and experience.
Also you’ll learn valve functions, their components, valve types and how to choose the right valve for the right application, we will introduce delegates to the different types of valves and their associated terminology.Valves for isolation and valves for control will be addressed. The application of the different types of valves will be discussed along with their suitability for different operational duties. Operation, troubleshooting and maintenance will be dealt with in depth.
The course starts by defining what valves actually are, about their purpose in various engineering industries, why there are so many types. and we will talk about each valve type in detail, Interactive 3D models are used extensively to show you exactly how valves and their components work. The course is packed with images, 2D animations, 3D animations and high-quality written content.
