Using ValVue Diagnostics
SVI II AP advanced features are simple to use with ValVue software. The following
examples illustrate some uses.
Continuous Diagnostics
SVI II AP continuously gathers critical information that can be used to predict
maintenance intervals for control valves. These are:
Total Travel
Number of cycles
Time open
Time closed
Time near closed
Monitoring a Valve Bellows Seal
The SVI II AP automatically stores the accumulated valve stroke reversals, as Number of
cycles. ValVue can be used to periodically retrieve the values and to track the remaining
life of a bellows seal or packing. Total travel can also be used to estimate the remaining
life of packings and seals.
Critical Service, Cavitation Control Trim
The time near closed, of a valve with severe service when near the seat, can be
monitored by ValVue and saved to permanent files to monitor and predict maintenance
needs. You can use ValVue to specify the criterion for time-spent-near-closed (a valve
position such as 4%, for example). See also Tight shutoff- Application to High Pressure
Liquid Letdown Valve Trim.
