Valve World Americas is a news source for manufacturers, suppliers and end-users of industrial valves.

We also host an exhibition and conference biennially in Houston, Texas, which is the largest gathering of flow control professionals in the Americas. The Valve World Americas Journal is a publication of KCI World. Published 10 times a year, the journal seeks to keep American readers up-to-date with the latest trends, projects, developments and news from the flow control industry. The Journal is av

ailable in both a print and digital version for the reader’s convenience. Content focuses on end-user experiences and practical applications. Additionally, we feature technical articles on valve design, fluid control, manufacturing, sealing technology, fugitive emissions and actuation. Timely topics, such as maintenance & repair, high temperature / high pressure applications, severe service, standards and regulations, are also covered with opinions from the industry’s leading experts. In addition to publishing one of the most authoritative news sources in industrial valves, we also host the largest gathering of flow control professionals in the Americas, the Valve World Americas Expo & Conference in Houston, Texas. Held biennially, the event features expert opinions, valuable education opportunities, hundreds of exhibitors and thousands of attendees.
