Preface to Second Edition
fhe first edition of this handbook has enjoyad considerable popularity for the last
clozen years. As a source of reference material for those in the control valva
mdustry, it has been well received and has been reprinted sorne eight times.
Naturally, during the course of those years, control valva technology has changed
nnd hardware designs have been improved. This edition attempts to document
sorne of those changas, while retaining the general style and usefulness of the
riginal work.
fhe general scope of this book is unchanged. The subject matter deals only with
co mmonly used automatic control valves, primarily pneumatically operated. Valve

We are indebted to the many individuals who contributed to the preparation of
lhls book. Also, we appreciate the cooperation of the lnstrument Society of
1\merica, publishers of Standard 551.1, Process /nstrumentation Terminology,
nd the Crane Company, publishers of Technical Paper No. 41 O, Flow of Fluids
lhrough Va/ves. Fittings, and Pipe, in permitting us to quote portions of their
pective documents.
While we hope this volume is found to be of merit, we welcome suggestions and
om ments on future additions and improvements. As advancements are made
In control valve technology and hardware, further revisions of this book will be
tthcoming and will include changas suggested by users of this edition.

The construction shown includes a

baffle to minimiza the noise created by
jet interaction at pressure drop ratios
of 0.85 or greater. (Baffle flow area is
several times greater than the flow area
of the primary cage and consequently
the baffle creates little or no pressure
drop.) For lower 6P/P 1 ratios (less than
0.85) the baffle is not required and the
degree of noise attenuation provided
depends on the size and spacing of the
restrictions in the primary cage wall.
Proper sizing and spacing of the re -
strictions provides equivalent or better
noise attenuation results than the other
methods discussed. Besides reducing
valve noise by as much as 30 dBA, this
design is less subject to plugging than
sorne of the others mentioned.
