CONTROL VALVE FAILURE

EVENT REPORTED by SAM GUARD®

Detected a problem with a Pressure control valve where the pressure could not be maintained although the set point was at 3.2 bar.

The pressure was dropping gradually over 10 days.

MAINTENANCE TEAM FINDINGS

The abnormal behavior was reported to the maintenance and was checked on-site.

The maintenance team reported a pressure transmitter failure and immediately scheduled for repairs.

COST / DOWNTIME AVOIDED

Earlier detection helped in detecting the faulty pressure transmitter.

CUSTOMER FEEDBACK

“SAM GUARD alerted much earlier than the alarm limit in DCS, helping with earlier intervention of the failure.”
