MAJOR COURSE UPDATE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear student,

We are currently in the process of updating the course.

We are implementing:
1. a synchronized high quality english male voiceover (section 1 through 4 already updated)
2. revised english subtitles (section 1 through 4 already updated)
A technical quiz is being added at the end of each section to help you test your knowledge (in progress)
Typical valve cross-sectional views and 3D animations are being uploaded to assist in understanding how specific valves work (done)

We are confident that these major updates will undoubtedly take our course to the next level and help you emphasize the key learning points.

-----------------------------

Dear student,

Valves of various designs and applications are encountered nowadays throughout petroleum refining, petrochemical and process industries as well as in power generation and environmental engineering.

This course is designed to provide you with a complete understanding of construction details and functioning of valves. This understanding is a prerequisite for successful operation of your plant and piping system.

The course includes extensivegraphics, 3Danimations and cross-sectional views to give you a virtual practical exposure on valves.

In this course, you will :

1. Discover the major types of valves used in the process industry

2. Learn their components, their function & their operation

3. Have the opportunity to dismantle many valves and assemble them using 3D models, cross-sectional views and 3D animations

4. Also included in this course, an in-depth discussion on actuators and control valves. You will learn how control valves are used to regulate the flow of a fluid. Concepts such as head loss, pressure drop, valve coefficient "Cv", flow resistance, valve curves and cavitation will be presented.

5. Finally, the course introduces you to valve symbols and representation in engineering drawings such as Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams (P&ID's). Standards and conventions that apply to valves and their accessories will be discussed in details. You will learn how valve status and failure modes are depicted in engineering drawings.

So with no further ado, check out the free preview videos and the curriculum and we look forward to seeing you in the first section.

Also remember, as enrolled student you will have unlimited access to this material and one-on-one instructor support. So feel free to ask us for help in the Q&A section when needed. It will be our pleasure to help you and make sure you are learning valuable information with us.

Hope to see you there

Cheers,
