Valve Selection Handbook: Engineering Fundamentals for Selecting the Right Valve Design for Every Industrial Flow Application

Introduction

Valve Selection Handbook

    Valves are the components in a fluid flow or pressure system that regulate either the  flow or the pressure of the fluid. They are used extensively in the process industries,  especially petrochemical. Though there are only four basic types of valves, there is an  enormous number of different kinds of valves within each category, each one used for a  specific purpose. No other book on the market analyzes the use,  construction, and selection of valves in such a comprehensive manner.
