Valve and Actuator Technology

Fülszöveg

Mechanical Engineering
A complete, state-of-the-art guide to the design, applications, and maintenance of valves and actuators
VALVE and ACTUATOR TECHNOLOGY
Today's production processes involve new and exotic fluids, extreme pressures and temperatures, and increasingly sophisticated electric and electronic process control technology. What new valves and actuators are available to meet the challenges facing mechanical designers, process/control engineers, and maintenance personnel?
This book identifies, describes, and evaluates all the major valve and actuator products currently on the market with expert coverage of materials, design parameters, operating characteristics, and, most importantly, scores of field-proven applications and industrial usages.
Here are just a few reasons why this practical reference will be a useful tool for every professional in the field:

Here are just a few reasons why this practical reference will be a useful tool for every professional in the field:
• It provides tips and suggestions on how to install automated valves to eliminate vibration and reduce maintenance.
• It includes a large section on retrofitting-hxAomciWng existing valves in the field to save time and reduce costs.
• It offers the most complete coverage of actuator types-pneumatic, electric, and electrohydraulic.
• It contains a list of alloy compositions and plastic, ceramic, and composite materials to help you improve the valve selection process.
• It covers comparison of pneumatic vs. electric actuators from the point of view of power supply requirements, speed and torque control, and size and weight considerations-all tabulated for easy reference. Vissza
