    Control Valve Fail Open convert to Fail Close

    Thanks for a very comprehensive reply. I would like to further explore an opportunity to learn from you. Let's said MAOP of the system is 720 psi, what pressure setting do we need to set? I set it at 1000 psi. Now, if the coming pressure is more than 1000 psi, it will require to FAIL CLOSE...

    Available Piping and E&I Design School?

    I am trying to obtain a good training class for piping design. Obviously sounds like noone comes up yet with a great class. I think it's great opportunity to take avantage of the oil & gas market. If anyone else could point me in the direction, I would deeply appreciate your guidance.
