Title:	PROPERLY SIZE CONTROL VALVES.
Authors:	McCarty, Michael¹ Michael.McCarty@emerson.com
Source:	Chemical Processing (0009-2630). Jan2015, Vol. 77 Issue 1, p21-25. 5p.
Subjects:	Pneumatic control valves, Valves, Transients (Dynamics), Pressure drop (Fluid dynamics), Systems design
Abstract:	The article discusses paying attention to oversizing of control valves to avoid economic penalty and operating problems. Topics discussed include problems of valves caused during process transients, system flow and pressure-drop requirements of the valves, meters and controllers, and application of best practices in process system design by engineering groups in collaboration with their equipment suppliers.
