The June Technology Evening (‘Tube Fitting’, presented by Bill Peet of Swagelok) was moved to 14 June to accommodate the Africa Automation
Fair. We will be back on track again with the first Wednesday of each month (5 July), with RJ Connect kindly sponsoring the evening. Rob Wright presents on the subject ‘Ramp up your network security’ where he will explore and highlight the risks to industrial processes due to inadequate network security. A critical and topical subject in the world in which we live, so don’t miss out! Contact [email protected] for further information.
Watch out for our one-day training course coming up in August (date, venue and pricing to be confirmed). Peter Underhill, an expert in this field and well known to the Durban automation and control industry, will be taking us through the need for correct selection, installation and maintenance of control valves and associated equipment – addressing in particular process variability and poor control. The course will be broken down into the following sections:
• Desuperheaters.
• Cavitation.
• Flashing.
• Noise.
• Valve characteristics and system gain.
• Managing the equipment.
For further information (or to provisionally book your spot!) please email Hennie Prinsloo, [email protected] or call him on +27 (0)82 324 5379.
