AN APLICATION FOR THE SELECTION AND SIZING OF CONTROL VALVE FOR CONTROL LOOP

Abstract

The paper presents the research of the author in developing an application for sizing and selection of control valves for typical process control applications. The proper sizing, selection, installation, and maintenance of control valve are all significant to obtain precise control performance. The paper has three parts. The first part describes the steps necessary to size and selection control valve based on the specific standards. The second part is destined to present the application developed by the author using Python programming language. In the last part, the author has presented and analyzed the numerical results of selection control valve using data from a real process.
