Who should attend?

This seminar is intended for personnel from various industries and disciplines, such as piping, instrument, process, safety, and maintenance engineers as well as plant managers and technical procurement. This is a four-hour seminar and will be held at your facility. The presentation is free of charge for all participants.

What is severe service?

Of the hundreds, or even thousands, of valves in the plant, few stay uppermost on the repair records and the minds of the operating crews. Those few valves and actuators all fall into the category that has become known as "severe service." These valves are those that are subjected to tough operating conditions either all or part of the time. Although few in number, they pose challenges to maintenance and operation. Eliminating problems in severe service valves offers one of the quickest and most effective means of improving plant efficiency.

Do I need a severe service valve?

In most cases, problems are caused by the misapplication of general service valves in severe service duty. In severe operating conditions, such misapplications affect efficiency to a greater degree, when compared to the entire valve population. While plant efficiency losses due to individual valve applications may be small, together they can add up to a significant problem.

How can I learn more?

CCI offers a seminar on severe service control valves free of charge. This seminar addresses the problems associated with severe service valves and provides guidelines for specification and procurement. The knowledge gained in this seminar will also assist plant personnel in determining if hardware failures are related to the improper application of a particular valve.
