Big diametre valve design 1

[llunydecasa]

Hi all,

I am working in the Hydropower design industry, and I would like to get deep knowledge in the valve design field (mainly, butterfly and spherical valves, up to DN2500). I have been looking for books or formation courses, but could not find anything interesting, for such big valves.

I am interested in both the hydraulic and mechanical part.

I would really appreciate any piece of information you could give to me.

Thank you very much in advance!!!
