Control valves are at the heart of nearly every process system—but sizing and selecting them correctly is often where challenges begin.
Join us for an upcoming ISA Philadelphia webinar where Joseph DeSanto, MBA, PMP will break down the fundamentals of control valve sizing and selection, from core concepts like Cv and flow characteristics to real-world considerations like actuator design, positioners, and trim selection. We’ll also connect the dots to the underlying fluid dynamics that drive valve performance—helping you better understand what’s actually happening inside the valve during operation.
We’ll go beyond theory to cover critical failure mechanisms like cavitation and flashing, along with practical strategies to mitigate them—topics that can make or break long-term reliability in the field. Whether you’re new to control valves or looking to sharpen your fundamentals, this session will give you a more structured approach to sizing, selection, and troubleshooting.
If you’re working in controls, process engineering, or system integration, this is a great opportunity to strengthen a foundational skillset. Hope to see you there!
