The Control Valve Bible - Oct 23, 2008
Reviewer: Patrick Gladd
I purchased this book in 2001, and it has been my go-to guide on control valves. I especially like the section on Control Valve Trim that lists tables for trim selection and the characterizing of the valve plugs and cage ports. The only suggestion would be for the authors to include a free copy of valve sizing software in CD format and attach it to the inside back cover to enhance this very comprehensive guide to control valves. Otherwise, you won't go wrong buying this book.
