About the Course
This course provides in-depth information on industrial valves used in process plants such as chemical process industries, oil and gas pipelines, power plants and refineries. The manufacturing processes involved in making these valves requires knowledge of technological nuances. The course also covers the conventional and modern practices associated with heavy manufacturing. Testing methodologies, selection procedures, assembly, installation, and maintenance of valves are all discussed elaborately. Modern concepts like additive manufacturing and other essential procedures in compliance with Industry 4.0 are also integrated in this industry-oriented course.
