Pinch valves are used in many industrial applications where the corrosiveness of the fluid handled or the amount of solids present in the fluid flow prevent other valve types from working. Pinch valves isolate the operating mechanism from the process fluid. The Pinch Valves training course describes their use, selection, and design. It discusses pinch valve construction and operation. Pinch Valves is part of the Valve Selection and Maintenance training series.
