Testing spring operated<br />
pressure safety valves in situ<br />
The PreVenTest is a robust,<br />
but ingeniously built system<br />
for testing all types and sizes of<br />
spring operated pressure safety<br />
valves ‘In-Situ’, in process and<br />
under the normal operating<br />
conditions. The portable system<br />
enables you to proof the correct<br />
working and performance or<br />
identify PSV’s in need of repair/<br />
maintenance without plant shutdown.<br />
The ‘In-Situ’ PreVenTest<br />
system is standard equipped with<br />
industrial laptop and is available in<br />
two versions; the fully automatic<br />
PreVenTest Advance (optionally<br />
available in intrinsically safe / ATEX<br />
certified version) and the ultralight,<br />
battery driven and handcontrolled<br />
PreVenTest LTC.<br />
Both the Advance and LTC are<br />
suitable for the same extended<br />
range up to 20 kN and completed<br />
with computer registration. The<br />
PreVenTest software is an easily<br />
operated user-friendly software<br />
package that will recognize the set<br />
pressure of the valve and will create<br />
a detailed test certificate after the<br />
test.<br />
PreVenTest Advance:<br />
- Fully automatic, computer<br />
control and operation.<br />
- Very universal and versatile<br />
character.<br />
- Robust portable system.<br />
- Prepared and equipped for all<br />
brands, types and sizes.<br />
Optional features:<br />
- ATEX Intrinsically safe version.<br />
- 50 kN set for testing without<br />
or with limited process / line<br />
pressure.<br />

New absolute pressure<br />
transmitter with different<br />
measuring ranges<br />
As of now, ifm has added<br />
absolute pressure sensors<br />
to its versatile portfolio in the<br />
pressure sensor range.<br />
The new PT05 series with<br />
robust metal measuring cell, G<br />
1/4 process connection, M12<br />
connector and analogue output is<br />
available in the common pressure<br />
ranges up to 10 bar.<br />
Absolute pressure sensors<br />
operate independently of the<br />
surrounding air pressure; that is<br />
what distinguishes them from<br />
sensors working on a relative<br />
measurement principle.<br />
The measurement is not<br />
influenced by weather and<br />
altitude-related fluctuations of air<br />
pressure. This is often a decisive<br />
factor in vacuum applications,<br />
which require a fine pressure<br />
control.<br />
Absolute pressure sensors do<br />
not require ventilation, therefore<br />
incorrect measurement due to a<br />
blocked exhaust is impossible. In<br />
the field of pressure sensors the<br />
new units stand out as specialists<br />
for ”specific duties“.<br />
