Specifying Control Valves to Optimize Continuous Processes

Process plants such as those in the chemical industry rely on a number of demanding operations requiring the highest level of measurement and control performance. Control valve technology, in particular, plays a vital role in production processes. Valves are the most important single element in any fluid handling system, because they regulate the flow of fluid to the process. This white paper discusses key factors to consider, such as sizing and trim materials, when choosing a valve to meet a specific application requirement.
