design books

[HDS]

I have been assigned a valve design project. What are the good resources for learning how to design valves?

thread408-5800: book for valve design lists two books but I wonder if there is anything new in the last 7 years.

What kind of valve? Application? Size?

The best place to start is to obtain a copy of the book "The Design of Valves and Fittings" by G. H. Pearson. It was published about 50 years ago, but it is still on the shelf of nearly every valve designer. It is out of print, but can usually be found at

or

If you are designing a ball valve, "The Valve Book", published by Neles-Jamesbury can be helpful as well. In addition you will need a copy of ANSI/ASME B16.34 to obtain pressure temperature ratings for the materials you choose for the valve shell.
