This report contains information obtained from authentic and highly regarded sources. Reasonable efforts have been made to obtain reliable data and information, but the author cannot assume responsibility for the validity of all materials or for the consequences of their use. It is the hope of the author that this report is of use to a variety of industrial individuals concerned with design, manufacture, selection, installation and use of high performance applications related to fluid control devices. Technology is ever changing with improvements in valve design, valve sizing, valve materials, valve diagnostics, valve packing, and performing on-line field repairs and calibrations. There are many types of high performance valves available to the market with variable or specific applications. The author will attempt to identify high performance valve typically used in Ethylene applications
