On-site training
Pressurised hydraulic system valves
Description

This course focuses on any kind of valve of the sort used in pressurised water distribution systems for control, maintenance or protection. These valves may be used either for isolating one part of the system for regulation and/or protection of this.

Automatic valves, widely used in industrial installations and localised irrigation, are also used in supply systems, in order to ensure the improvement of supply conditions by controlling the basic hydraulic variables such as pressure, flow and water levels in tanks.

The course is completed with check valves, relief valves and vent valves, and it gives practical exercises enabling the most appropriate valve in each situation to be selected.
