Description

Reliable valve operation is critical in order to meet the requirements during normal and abnormal plant conditions. Systems Engineering offers a way to consider all relevant parameters of a system, its alternatives and test sensitivities. In this paper therefore, the authors examine valve function by applying system engineering tools
