What is a Valve? Before diving into preventing how valve erosion can be prevented, we must understand what a valve is. A valve is a mechanical device that controls the flow of a liquid, gas, or slurry through a systematic passageway such as pipes. A valve achieves control by stopping, varying, or starting the fluid […]

What is a Valve? Before diving into valve sizing an understanding of what valves are is needed. A valve is a mechanical device that controls the flow of a liquid, gas, or slurry through a systematic passageway such as pipes. A valve achieves control by stopping, varying, or starting the fluid flow, controlling the direction […]

What is cavitation? Prevent cavitation by understanding what cavitation and what causes it. EXPRO Controls published a blog post regarding an in-depth analysis of ‘what is cavitation‘ on January 29th, 2025. However, I will give a brief explanation. Cavitation is the process in which the liquid’s static pressure falls below its vapor pressure, resulting in […]

What is Pulsating Flow? A base understanding of what pulsating flow is need before we can solve how to prevent pulsating flow. Pulsating flow occurs in a wide variety of industries and systems, such as oil and gas, chemical manufacturing, water treatment plants, and many more. It is characterized by periodic variations in velocity and […]
