Volume BSH 5: Part 1 Survey of Valves for Bulk Solids Applications

This part surveys the various generic valve types used in slurry service and discusses the various factors which affect the selection of the valve most appropriate to the application in question. For each valve type, information on design, size and duty and advantages/limitations will be given. Factors affecting valve performance such as valve pressure-temperature rating, valve flow path configuration, valve operation/control, valve reliability and system layout are discussed. Guidelines/criteria for slurry and bulk solids valve selection are also briefly outlined.
