Predictive valve diagnostics services maximize the time between shutdown maintenance and minimize the total downtime during the shutdown maintenance cycle. The cost of performing predictive maintenance on valves can be up to five times less expensive than scheduled maintenance, even before down time is taken into consideration.

A key element of the valve diagnostic service is the ability to turn on-line, in-service diagnostic data into useful maintenance information that can be used in the shutdown maintenance planning process. Our valve diagnostic specialists will examine the data and provide an in-depth analysis of the valve under test. The analysis will provides specific information pertaining to the performance of the valve and its health status. A number of parameters and their impact on valve operation can be evaluated like valve friction, seat load, travel, spring rate, calibration, bench set, hysteresis and linearity. With the wealth of information, we can provide specific maintenance recommendations like whether the valve can operate in its current condition; or if maintenance is needed and when it is needed.

Our specialist will tailor a customized Valve Diagnostic Program that will: monitors, analyze and enhance the valve performance detect possible leakage under process condition before it fail the valve detect and isolate with known parts failure pinpoint specific problem areas, allowing advance preparation of the required spare parts prior to the shutdown for maintenance
