In Jon Monsen's book, Control Valve Application Technology (published and distributed by Valin Corporation), Jon explains how to properly size and select a control valve. Jon recently received inquiries from customers interested in a further explanation of one of the graphs featured in his book. This article will cover that explanation.

In this paper I will show how an analysis using Metso’s Nelprof® control valve sizing and selection software’s unique ability to graph the installed gain of a control valve can be helpful in selecting the optimum pump for a balance of good controllability and minimum energy use.

StoneL Quartz

The StoneL Quartz Explosionproof Valve Monitoring series is durable, corrosion resistant, and versatile, making it ideal for most of your process valve monitoring requirements.

The basic liquid sizing equation tells us that the liquid flow rate through a control valve is proportional to the square root of pressure drop.

StoneL’s Axiom AN

If you are looking for a valve controller that can be used on most on/off automated valves then look no further. StoneL’s new Discrete Valve Controller provides unmatched reliability, state-of-the-art monitoring and robust pneumatic control in hazardous and general process applications.

LK Series Metering Pumps

The Walchem LK Series metering pumps are motor-driven, mechanically-actuated diaphragm metering pumps. This larger LK Series can achieve outputs up to 856 GPH (3240 l/h) and maximum pressures of 220 PSI (1.5 MPa). Ideal for chemical feed applications including water treatment, chemical process, agriculture, mining and paper.

Iwaki America/Walchem is pleased to announce the release of the next generation of LK series metering pump.  These larger, mechanically actuated and motor-driven metering pumps feature the same rugged design and versatility of their smaller LK pump but in a bigger package - providing flow rates up to 856 GPH and pressures to 145PSI!
