Valve Condition and Performance Monitoring Enters a New Era

V-MAP G3

Diagnostic Analysis

Typical failure modes (examples) that are easily identified with V-MAP® G3

Valve Failures:

  • Failure to operate on demand – Seizures
  • Operating Time Issues
  • Galling of obturator or stem
  • Stem Issues – Alignment / Sealing Surface Deterioration
  • Positioning Issues
  • Operating Cycles Torque Changes - Trending
  • Through-Seat Leakage Detection / Quantification / Trending
  • Packing Issues - Over-Tightened / Deteriorating

Operator Failures:

  • Failure to operate on demand - Seizures
  • Operating Cycles Torque Changes - Trending
  • Spring Issues – Breaks / Fatigue
  • Positioning Issues
  • Sizing Issues / Loss of performance
  • Cylinder Integrity Issues
  • Pressure Leaks
  • Pneumatic / Hydraulic Pressure Supply Issues
