Inherent control valve flow characteristics are established assuming a constant Δp across the valve. If the valve Δp is reduced as the flow increases, meaning that there is a valve pressure drop decay ...

Compressible fluid flow through control valves will inevitably cause some form of flow-induced vibration in the fluid system. Identifying the type and cause of the vibration requires detective work.

The Kettle Creek Flow Control Valve Design-Build project was developed to replace a single 30-in. plug valve and create a redundant flow train between two major potable water pipelines.
