Valves are available in different sizes and designs that dictate their performance in industrial processing applications; sanitary valve applications; fire protection services; heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems; and slurries. In broad terms, butterfly valves are vital for flow regulation and flow isolation. This course will provide the attendee with the knowledge necessary to understand and enhance their mechanical aptitude in the area of valve maintenance and piping system protection.

 

Objectives:

 

Upon the completion of maintenance planning and scheduling course, the participants will be able to:
