Our experienced presenters cover the major valve types\, including linear\, check\, quarter-turn and pressure-relief\, plus actuation basics. In early 2021\, Virtual Valves 201 will be offered for those who want to take the next step in learning about these critical flow control products\, including actuators\, controls\, automation and more. All virtual presentations will include videos to show how products work and to help attendees better understand the concepts being discussed. \nWHO SHOULD ATTEND\nThis course was created specifically for newcomers to the industry so it is ideally suited for recent graduates and engineers in the early stages of their careers. In addition\, those who understand the basics of mechanical valves can expand their knowledge by attending the electric portion of the program. Both courses can be taken\, or attendees can choose to attend one or another. \nAttendees typically include: \n\nA variety of professionals employed at plants and facilities that use or work with valves\, actuators and controls\nMore experienced professionals with knowledge of one specific product type but in need of an overview of the entire spectrum of valves\, actuators and controls.\nNew employees at valve\, actuator and control companies\nPersonnel from EPC or AEC firms who are involved with specifying valves\nDistributors and manufacturers’ reps who sell these products\nCompanies that provide supplies and services to the industry\nAnd anyone who could use a refresher course on valves\, actuators and controls!\n\nThe Valve Basics course has been well-received by upper-level mechanical engineering students who have attended previous seminars. Their participation is made possible by scholarships from association members and others interested in supporting valve training for the next generation. \nSPONSORSHIP INFORMATION\nVMA is developing a sponsorship program so attendees will still be able to learn about new products and services from industry suppliers. This will provide an excellent opportunity for suppliers to “meet” people from across the industry. Because many of our attendees are in the early phases of their careers\, they are typically eager to learn about your products and services! \nQUESTIONS\nPlease contact Abby Brown\, VMA education & training coordinator\, or Judy Tibbs\, VMA director of education.

Module I focuses on valves as pieces of equipment\, exploring how they work and the main types commonly used in the Oil & Gas industry. Module II was designed to give a broader view of the different ancillary processes that surround a valve application\, such supplier auditing and prototype testing. The table of contents for both Modules can be seen below: \nJoin Davi virtually on November 10\, 12\, 17 and 19 for the\nModule I of the Industrial Valves course.\nINDUSTRIAL VALVES – MODULE I\nNovember 10\, 12\, 17 and 19\nTime: 9am CST/10am EST \n\nDefinition of an industrial valve\nHow a valve works\nMain valve types for Oil & Gas\nMain parts of a valve and their variations\nPressure class rating\nMaterials selection\nStandards & organizations\nSelection & application\nActuation\nInstallation\nOperation\n\nINDUSTRIAL VALVES – MODULE II \n\nDates to be decided\nRecap of valve types and how they work\nFugitive emissions\nProcurement/supply chain\nSpecification\nInspection\nControl valves\nDesign & supplementary requirements\nDesign validation & prototype testing\nSafety\nRefurbishment\nFire-safe testing\nMaintenance\nSupplier qualification\nManufacturing\nShipping & handling\nTroubleshooting\n\nEarn 8 professional development hours and receive a certificate of attendance URL:https://empoweringpumps.com/event/valve-world-industrial-valves/ LOCATION:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://empoweringpumps.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/unnamed-5.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201111T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201111T150000 DTSTAMP:20260403T150255 CREATED:20201102T153201Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201104T162906Z UID:40669-1605101400-1605106800@empoweringpumps.com SUMMARY:Avoid the Pitfalls of Oversizing Booster Systems and Drawdown Tanks. DESCRIPTION:One of the more difficult aspects of planning and designing plumbing systems is the sizing of booster packages. The sizing process for any mechanical system can be challenging\, but the industry literature on booster sizing offers no universally accepted approach or standard; whilst literature on sizing hydropneumatics (expansion) tanks are often focused on closed-loop systems. Issues associated with under-sizing is well documented and felt almost immediately. But over-sizing presents its own set of issues\, including excessive consumption of energy and water\, pre-mature equipment wear\, exacerbation of leaks\, and contamination due to long term stagnation. Join us Wednesday\, November 11 @ 1:30 PM for a crash course on how to right-size and select booster packages and drawdown tanks. This session will be of interest to design engineers\, contractors\, and building developers. PDH certificates are available on request. \nRegister Here!

Utilizing a VFD in lieu of a traditional starter or even soft starter reduces in rush currents\, prevents mechanical stresses on the driven equipment and infrastructure and also may result in great energy savings. When the motor is powered by this type of control\, consideration should be taken to ensure a good installation by knowing the concerns of utilizing this type of control and reviewing the required grounding requirements\, grounding products and solutions. \nAttendees will leave with the ability to: \nIdentify the most common motor failures\nUnderstand the effects of common mode voltage as related to motor bearings\nIdentify bearing damage which may be applicable to common mode voltage\nEnsure proper motor grounding requirements\nTo be aware of motor shaft grounding devices \nPresenter: Larry Stanley | Regional Business Development Manager\, Water URL:https://empoweringpumps.com/event/abb-motor-grounding/ LOCATION:Webinar ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://empoweringpumps.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/ABB-Motor-Grounding.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20201124T100000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20201124T110000 DTSTAMP:20260403T150255 CREATED:20201116T223603Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201116T223603Z UID:40972-1606212000-1606215600@empoweringpumps.com SUMMARY:Stories From the Field DESCRIPTION:A full understanding of HVAC theory and fluid flow technology is crucial for building a solid base of knowledge. But nothing can match the color and context of stories from real installations. To illustrate key aspects of HVAC systems\, and shine a light on common industry practices\, we’re asking experts from Armstrong to bring forward the untold stories of major installations.
