3 steps to ensure ESD valve reliability beyond certification
Final elements, such as ESD valves, are a critical part in the safety lifecycle. When they are not working properly, the safety of the entire plant is in jeopardy. To ensure overall plant safety, correct ESD valve selection plays a vital role. A lot of uncertainty prevails around the relatively new standards IEC 61508 and IEC 61511 and how they should be interpreted for safety valves. This blog post looks closer at this issue and sheds some light on what is an essential but confusing subject.

Since cavitation is one of the most significant causes of wear, it is important to control the impact of the fluid flow. Using advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to model cavitation helps you reach quicker, more efficient results and deeper insight for your designs, avoiding any premature failure of your control valves.
Insights ● Blog postHow to choose control valves?
Control valve requirements often differ depending on the process area, application and end user specifications. Process conditions and the range of parameters also vary widely, including pressure, temperature, controllability, cavitation risk, environmental impact, noise and more. Plus, priorities may differ. An end user may want to know more about a valve’s performance, controllability and total life-cycle cost, whereas an EPC contractor may be more concerned about the CAPEX-related costs and delivery times. How do you know where to start – and where to turn for help with quality information you can rely on?
