Selecting the appropriate valve involves a systematic process, where each step is carefully examined to ensure the chosen valve fulfills its intended function and successfully performs the assigned task. The selection process begins with understanding the characteristics and primary functions of different types of valves. This foundational knowledge helps in identifying the most suitable option for specific applications. As discussed in sections 2 and 3, these features are summarized in Table I and Table II for easy reference. Next, the valve’s size or flow capacity must be determined. Table III provides the nominal diameter of the valve, which may differ from the actual flow path diameter. To select the correct size, the required Cv value is calculated based on the fluid conditions, and then the appropriate valve size is chosen from the manufacturer's catalog. The Cv value represents the flow capacity of the valve, defined as the number of gallons per minute of water that can pass through the valve with a pressure drop of 1 psi at 60°F. It can also be calculated using the formula: **Q = Cv√ΔP**, where Q is the flow rate, ΔP is the pressure drop across the valve, and P is the liquid density in lb/ft³. Another critical factor is the relationship between temperature and pressure. For pressure valves, the permissible and safe operating pressure at a given temperature is specified, ensuring it remains within the maximum allowable limit without causing damage. Material selection for the valve body is essential for long-term performance. Common materials include metals for the body, bonnet, and other pressure-containing parts. Key factors in material selection include: - **Fluid temperature and pressure**: High temperatures reduce tensile strength and lifespan, while low temperatures can cause embrittlement. - **Corrosion resistance**: Fluid type, concentration, and temperature affect the likelihood of corrosion, including forms such as pitting, intergranular corrosion, and stress cracking. - **Erosion resistance**: Materials should have strong oxide layers, high fatigue limits, and increased hardness to withstand wear. For internal components like the seat, stem, and guide bush, similar considerations apply, including temperature, corrosion, erosion, and wear resistance. The bonnet design also plays a vital role, with options such as screwed, bolted, sealed-welded, and pressure-sealed bonnets depending on the valve size, operating conditions, and risk of leakage. Special requirements vary by application and temperature. These include fire-safe and anti-static designs for ball valves, extended bonnets for cryogenic service, noise and cavitation control in control valves, and leak-proof capsule designs for absolute sealing. Finally, the mode of operation depends on the installation environment, operational needs, and frequency of use. While electric and pneumatic actuators are common, many systems now integrate computerized controls for monitoring and automation. However, manual operation via handwheels or gear reducers is still widely used due to cost-effectiveness and reliability.
