COURSE OUTLINES
Title: Steam valves
Instructor: Eng. Ehab Aboward
Overview This course is designed to provide the participants with theoretical
knowledge and practical skills to select the proper valve for certain application as well as to do the troubleshooting and maintenance for plant valves with focus on the steam and boiler service.
Objective Upon completion of this course, participants will have gained the following
Describe the classification and working principles for each
type of valves. Characterize the different material of each component, its properties and compatibility considerations. Identify different valve actuators types in use and range of application for each them. Know the different failure modes for the valves and the remedial action. Learn how to troubleshoot the valve problems and implement the proper preventive and corrective measures.
Methodology A mix of classroom lectures, power point presentation, video
animation as well as group discussions and case studies.
Who Should This course is intended for Maintenance, Production Engineers and attend supervisors.
It will be of major benefit for those who are new to the field, but it will also serve as a refresher workshop for those who have many years of experience.
