Maintenance Of Valves & Testing Technology
Course Description
The course is designed for participants to understand the principles of the Types, function, Specification and classification of valves. Then cover the valves maintenance, troubleshooting and repair This course presents a practical approach to the function, servicing, installation, repair, overhaul, upgrading and modifications of these components. Valves usually appear to be simple in form and operation, such as those of a manual Off-On Valve, Check Valve, or the Fixed Valve type such as an Orifice, Blind, etc

Mechanical Engineers, Under Development Engineers Supervisors and Technicians.

User, distributor, sales engineers or buyer of this equipment will also benefit & understand much of the design & manufacturing principles that dictates faster delivery of safer quality product.
