Description
Valves are critical components in any piping system. Their proper functioning ensures flow control, pressure regulation, and overall safety of industrial operations. But selecting the right valve material is not just about compatibility—it requires deep knowledge of material behavior, ASTM standards, and application-specific conditions such as temperature, pressure, and fluid type.
This course provides an in-depth understanding of valve materials, ASTM material standards, and their use in carbon steel, high-temperature steel, low-temperature steel, and stainless steel valve applications. You will learn how materials are classified, how to refer to ASTM standards properly, and how to select the correct grade for different operating environments.
If you’re a piping engineer, mechanical engineer, maintenance professional, or engineering student, this course is tailored to provide both practical and theoretical knowledge essential to designing or working with valve systems.
