The Summit introduction to control valve seminar
provides technical training to people in industry who are responsible
for flow control. The school provides participants with key tools
and concepts that will allow them to make informed decisions regarding
control valve sizing and selection.
Industry-experienced instructors provide up to date information
and techniques. The technical training provided pertains to all
types of control valves and associated systems.
