Do you know of any software used for sizing control valves?
Yes, there are several software tools available for sizing control valves. These tools help in determining the appropriate size of a control valve for a given application based on parameters like flow rate, pressure drop, fluid properties, and valve characteristics. Here are some commonly used software tools:
- Fisher Specification Manager (ValveLink): This software by Emerson is used for valve sizing, selection, and specification. It includes tools for evaluating control valve performance, valve noise prediction, and cavitation analysis.
- VALVESTAR®: Developed by Samson, VALVESTAR® is used for control valve sizing and selection. It supports various international standards and can handle a wide range of fluids and applications.
- CvSizer: This is a user-friendly valve sizing software supports a wide range of control valves and offers calculations based on international standards.
- FlowServe Performance!Nxt: This software by FlowServe provides comprehensive valve sizing, selection, and configuration capabilities. It supports a wide variety of control valves and offers detailed analysis and reporting features.
- CONVAL: This is an engineering software for sizing and calculating control valves, as well as other components like pipes, heat exchangers, and pumps. It supports multiple international standards and provides detailed technical documentation.
- Metso Nelprof: This software by Metso offers valve sizing and selection capabilities for a wide range of control valves. It includes tools for calculating noise levels, pressure drops, and valve performance.
These software tools often include databases of valve types and models, along with detailed fluid property libraries, making them versatile for various industrial applications.
