Mechanical, Maintenance & Reliability · 5 Days · Public · Al-Khobraa certified · From USD 3,900
Overview
Valves are synonymous with just about every industry around the world. Having said that, anyone dealing with this type of equipment knows that there is a lot to learn, and many choices to be made. Of course, a special component or mechanism is also required to operate the valve, and it must have a source of energy.
Learning Objectives
Differentiating between the different types of valves available, and focusing on their advantages and disadvantages
Developing a system, using the specific actuators that will provide the greatest benefit, based on their individual advantages and disadvantages
Selecting the appropriate additional equipment (and, combinations of equipment, where necessary)
Learning to take any installation from the specification and selection process, right through to installation and maintenance phases
Sizing valves correctly, whilst identifying and gaining familiarity with ANSI / DIN pipe sizes and pressure ratings
Who Should Attend
This training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
Instrumentation technicians and engineers

Course Outline
Day 1 — Valve Basics - What happens inside the Valve from a Process Point of View, Valve Types and Associated Hardware?
Valve purposes, principles, flow conditions and operation
Signals, pressure drops, flow profiles and Reynolds numbers
Cv, choked flow and flashing and cavitation
The requirements, classification and selected associated hardware for valves and actuators
Day 2 — A Continuation of Valve Types, Associated Equipment and Characteristics
P&ID diagrams (using valves) and valve seat leakage rates
Characteristics associated with valves
Inherent versus installed characteristics
Day 3 — Manual and Software Valve Sizing, Actuators and Positioners, Trims and Maintenance
Manually sizing a valve
Sizing a valve, using software from manufacturers
Actuators, bench setting and valve positioners
Cavitation and noise trims and valve material selection
Day 4 — Pressure Relief, SIS, Valve Action, Combinations, Terminology, Codes and Standards
Pressure relief devices and the limitation of safety relief valves
Valves associated with safety instrumented systems
What do Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses cover?
The portfolio covers reliability-centred maintenance (RCM), preventive and predictive maintenance, condition monitoring and vibration analysis, root cause failure analysis, rotating and static equipment, asset management and maintenance planning — including preparation for the CMRP (Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional) credential.
Who should attend a mechanical, maintenance or reliability course?
These courses suit maintenance and reliability engineers, maintenance planners and schedulers, mechanical and rotating-equipment technicians and supervisors, condition-monitoring analysts, asset and plant managers, and operations staff accountable for equipment availability.
How long are mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses, and where are they held?
Most Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability courses run over 5 days. The exact duration, dates and city for this course are listed in the dates section on this page. Public sessions run across Saudi Arabia — Riyadh, Jeddah, Al-Khobar, Jubail and Yanbu — as well as regional and international venues, with live virtual classrooms available on request.
What certificate will I receive?
Delegates who complete the course receive an Al-Khobraa certificate of completion, issued by a Saudi-registered training provider. Al-Khobraa also delivers internationally accredited programmes; where a course carries an external awarding body such as PMI, CIPS, ILM or IOSH, that body is named on the course's own page.
Can mechanical, maintenance and reliability training be delivered in-house for our team?
Yes. Any Al-Khobraa mechanical, maintenance and reliability course can be delivered in-house at your own premises anywhere in Saudi Arabia or the GCC, with the content, dates and language of delivery tailored to your team. Al-Khobraa is an approved HRDF (Hadaf) provider, so eligible Saudi employers can seek training support. Contact us for a quotation.
