As far as I know after maintenance or tube cleaning in shell and tube heat exchanger shell test is needed .how about tube test?
If tube test also needed which one should be done first?
Shell test or tube test?
I am going to size a control valve for following condition:
flow condition:steam
P1=41bara
P2=33bara
temperature=410c
specific gravity=11.7
Z=0.98
what would be the amount of Cv?
What is the main purpose of low pressure closure test in API598.according to mentioned standard there are also high pressure closure test which is done by higher pressure.
so when we use it?
and what is the advantage of that?
Dear experts
As far as I know,the flow direction in globe valves is depends on valve application.in other word for shut off valves flow direction should be over the plug.and for throttling valves flow direction should be under the plug.
So why manufacturers show direction on globe valve body?
