    Need to find new supplier/manufacturer of this part

    I apologize in advance for posting a blatantly off-topic request for help here, but I'm at a loss for where else to go. We bought some samples quantities of this in-line, male-male ball joint. http://midwestcontrol.com/photos/large/190.jpg Now that we have proven the product, we issued the...

    Burst Test Failure Criteria for Control Valves

    Hopefully the collective wisdom here can advise me on this topic. While the hydrostatic proof test of control valves is well defined (e.g. ANSI/ISA-75.19) I have not been able to find a corresponding standard for burst testing. My research shows an "industry standard" of minimum 4-7 times...

    Pressure Rating Standards for Non-Ferrous Valves

    I have reviewed several manufacturer's documentation with regards to forged brass ball valves, and have a question regarding the specification of "Body Pressure" or "Working Pressure". I am used to the hydrostatic testing requirements of ASME B16.34 and ANSI/ISA-75.19.01 which both state a...

    Fluid Mechanics for Valve Engineers

    I am looking to brush up on my Fluid Mechanics training and specifically focus on valve engineering theory. I have looked at a few colleges in the area with the thought of auditing a course, but if they offer Fluid Mechanics at all, the focus seems to be in the aeronautical direction. Maybe...

    Cv correlation between gas and fluid?

    If I have a valve with a known Cv for fluids (water specifically), is there a correlation that can be made to the Cv for gases (specifically CO2)?

    Water Treatment oxidizing Grease?

    I posted this in the Valve Engineering forum, but thought there might be insight from this forum as well. Any ideas? I have some ball valves in my system that have started to exhibit higher torque requirements to actuate. I took a couple apart to see what was going on, and noticed that the...

    Water Treatment oxidizing Grease?

    I posted this in the Valve Engineering forum, but thought there might be insight here as well from the side of the water treatment. I have some ball valves in my system that have started to exhibit higher torque requirements to actuate. I took a couple apart to see what was going on, and...

    Grease / Water Treatment Compatibilty

    I have some ball valves in my system that have started to exhibit higher torque requirements to actuate. I took a couple apart to see what was going on, and noticed that the stem and O-rings seemed rather "dry". The grease appeared to lose all it's lubricating qualities, although it was...
