Control Valves Do What They Are Told!
Being the Final Control Element in a system is not an easy job. To start with, you are blamed for any and all problems that crop up in the process. You are subjected to corrosion, high velocity, cavitation, flashing liquids, cryogenic temperatures, high temperatures, abrasion, and thermal shock. You are expected not only to throttle along through all this, but most likely, you are also being asked to act as a block valve and shut off tight.
As you work with control valves always keep in mind that a control valve only does what it is told to do.
