Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries, especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a specific purpose. No other book on the market analyzes the use, construction, and selection of valves in such a comprehensive manner. - Covers new environmentally-conscious equipment and practices, the most important hot-button issue in the petrochemical industry today - Details new generations of valves for offshore projects, the oil industry's fastest-growing segment - Includes numerous new products that have never before been written about in the mainstream literature

Now available in a new improved format, this second edition is completely revised and updated. An Introductory Guide to Flow Measurement is an indispensable guide for the busy practising engineer. It provides a ready source of information on flowmeters, their operation, installation, and relative advantages and disadvantages in different applications. This revised edition retains the succinct style of the original, with plenty of clear line diagrams and shading to highlight key points, it is comprehensive and easy-to-use. The material is based on the author’s own lectures at Cranfield Institute of Technology, UK, but incorporates lessons learned through using the first edition as a teaching tool during the 13 years since its first publication. It aims to transmit as much information as possible, as efficiently as possible, in as short a time as possible. Essential reading for any engineer faced with a flow measurement problem – this book will enable the reader to assess advice received from manufacturers and contribute to discussions with experts. Existing and new readers alike will welcome this updated version of the well established and highly regarded Introductory Guide to Flow Measurement. Key areas considered include: Accuracy; flow behavior, and fluid parameters Calibration techniques Selection Momentum flowmeters Volumetric flowmeters Mass flowmeters Probes and tracers Recent developments and future trends

A Practical Guide to Piping and Valves for the Oil and Gas Industry covers how to select, test and maintain the right oil and gas valve. Each chapter focuses on a specific type of valve with a built-in structured table on valve selection. Covering both onshore and offshore projects, the book also gives an introduction to the most common types of corrosion in the oil and gas industry, including CO2, H2S, pitting, crevice, and more. A model to evaluate CO2 corrosion rate on carbon steel piping is introduced, along with discussions on bulk piping components, including fittings, gaskets, piping and flanges. Rounding out with chapters devoted to valve preservation to protect against harmful environments and factory acceptance testing, this book gives engineers and managers a much-needed tool to better understand today's valve technology. Presents oil and gas examples and challenges relating to valves, including many illustrations from valves in different stages of projects Helps readers understand valve materials, testing, actuation, packing and preservation, also including a new model to evaluate CO2 corrosion rates on carbon steel piping Presents structured valve selection tables in each chapter to help readers pick the right valve for the right project

This text provides the practising engineer with a review of the current techniques and applications of machine control. The control of machines is essential in the manufacturing process in order to produce products with more speed, efficiency and accuracy. The range of machinery dependent upon control by a dedicated computer is very broad, encompassing sheet metal feeding machines, operating at a few cycles per minute to textile machines, some parts of which rotate at a hundred thousand revolutions per minute.

Piping and valve engineers rely on common industrial standards for selecting and maintaining valves, but these standards are not specific to the subsea oil and gas industry. Subsea Valves and Actuators for the Oil and Gas Industry delivers a needed reference to go beyond the standard to specify how to select, test, and maintain the right subsea oil and gas valve for the project. Each chapter focuses on a specific type of valve with a built-in structured table on valve selection, helping guide the engineer to the most efficient valve. Covering subsea-specific protection, the reference also gives information on high pressure protection systems (HIPPS) and discusses corrosion management within the subsea sector, such as Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking Corrosion (HISC). Additional benefits include understanding the concept of different safety valves in subsea, selecting different valves and actuators located on subsea structures such as Christmas trees, manifolds, and HIPPS modules, with a full detail review including sensors, logic solver, and solenoid which is designed to save cost and improve the reliability in the subsea system. Rounding out with chapters on factory acceptance testing (FAT) and High Integrity Pressure Protection Systems (HIPPS), Subsea Valves and Actuators for the Oil and Gas Industry gives subsea engineers and managers a much-needed tool to better understand today's subsea technology. - Understand practical information about all types of subsea valves and actuators with over 600 visuals and several case studies - Learn and review the applicable standards and specifications from API and ISO in one convenient location - Protect your assets with a high-pressure protection system (HIPPS) and subsea-specific corrosion management including Hydrogen Induced Stress Cracking Corrosion (HISC)
