In process flow control, there are many factors affecting variability, but the greatest contributor is the control valve’s performance. Issues associated with control valves, such as dead band, ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

According to MarketsandMarkets™, the control valve market is projected to reach USD 13.99 billion by 2032 from USD 10.81 ...

Learning the basics can ease loop tuning frustration and ensure stability. During plant operations, it seems that tuning control loops is an ongoing task, which can be a continual frustration to ...

The transportation industry, and the aerospace sector in particular, requires new ground-breaking methods to overcome the challenges that they are currently facing, i.e., the need to reduce fossil ...

Just over a decade ago, an article titled, "Advanced Control Strategies Move into the Field" (Control, October 2008), highlighted three evolving trends in the process control world that would "make ...

New research has improved control of slack line flow in steep slope liquids pipelines, whether during commissioning, steady operations, or in the wake of an accident. New research has improved control ...
