All about Piping and Valve design : 5 Modules
Valves are the control points of every piping system—regulating flow, managing pressure, preventing backflow, and ensuring operational safety. This course offers a complete and structured understanding of all major valve types, their applications, construction, operation principles, and performance characteristics.
From gate valves to control valves, this module is designed to build technical clarity and boost confidence when dealing with valves across any piping system in the oil & gas, chemical, power, or water treatment sectors.
