KKI ambassador publishes

‘A Specifier’s Guide to Control Valves’

Engineering ambassador, Edward Singleton, is sharing over six decades of control valve expertise with the engineering industry, through the publication of his new book, ‘A specifier’s guide to control valves.’ Today, in his 80s, Edward is still one of the most technically proficient control valve experts around the world.

Edward (Ed) was the original founder of leading control valve engineering firm Koso Kent Introl (KKI) – www. kentintrol.com - formerly Introl. The new book, published by KCI Publishing, comprises 18 chapters of white papers, case studies and explanations into the origin of some of the principal equations used for sizing control valves, and for quantifying the influence of valve characteristics on process control.

The book targets specialist sections of the valve and petrochemical industries and specifically those students and engineers who are not particularly experienced in specifying control valves. More information and how to purchase the book can be found at www.kciwebshop. com.

Ed Singleton commented: ‘It’s a great honour to have some of my lifelong work published in this new guide. Some of my original work has been published in this book and is still current today. I think it’s important for the engineering world to fuse the best of both traditional and modern engineering techniques. The guide might be of use to anyone facing issues with the specification of control valves and includes frequently used equations in control valve specifications.’

Denis Westcott, KKI’s managing director said: ‘We are delighted that Ed’s knowledge and expertise has been captured in this new book. He is hailed as one of the most experienced and esteemed statesmen in valve engineering and is still a consultant to KKI today. His contribution to the industry has been immense and his work will, no doubt, continue to inspire the next generation of engineers. Some of his practices are sure to live on throughout the valve world and right here at KKI.’
