Online @ NGN120,000.00 Per participant
On-Site to make formal request
Venue: Mechelectric Conference Centres, Ikeja, Abuja, PH and Ota
Date and Time: February 10 - 12, 2025; 0900Hr - 1600Hr Daily
Course Overview
This workshop provides a total in-depth insight into valve and actuator technology, covering: control valves, check valves, shut-off valves, solenoid valves, and pressure relief valves. A methodology is presented to ensure the optimum selection of size, choice of body and trim materials, components, and ancillaries. Whilst studying both liquid and gas valve sizing, delegates will also learn the correct procedures for calculating the spring 'wind-up' or 'bench set'. Maintenance issues also include: testing for dead-band/hysteresis, stick-slip, and non-linearity; on-line diagnostics; and signature analysis. Throughout the workshop, participants will learn through active participation using exercises, questionnaires, and practical sessions covering: systems choice; basic sizing calculations; computer-based sizing; and maintenance diagnostics.
Course Benefits
By attending this WorkmanSkills training, delegates will be able to:
Target Audience:
Specifically designed for Facilities, chemical, electrical, instrumentation, maintenance, and mechanical engineers and technicians involved in designing, selecting sizing, specifying, installing, testing, Operating and maintaining shutoff, pressure relief, and control valves.
How will this Training Course be Presented?
This WorkmanSkills course will be conducted along workshop principles with formal lectures and interactive examples, which will result in the active participation of all delegates in discussions and teamwork of problem solving. There will be several class-workshops during which case studies and real life problems will be solved in team work. This will provide understanding of the problems and illustrate the efficient application of modern maintenance optimization technologies. There will be ample opportunities for active, open discussions and sharing professional experiences on various industrial applications. All course materials will be provided.
Course Outlines
The Certificate
WorkmanSkills Certificate of Completion will be provided to delegates who attend and complete the course
