Industrial Valve Maintenance and Actuator Servicing

Valves that stick, pass or fail to seat cause product loss, safety incidents and failed shutdowns on African process plants. This programme covers the maintenance of gate, globe, ball, butterfly and control valves, together with the pneumatic and electric actuators that drive them. Delegates practise stripping, reseating and testing valves so they hold and move reliably after a turnaround.
