Digital valve monitor designs increase partial stroke testing

摘要

A large-scale Middle East-based oilfield installation employs SVM Smart Valve Monitoring system as a "networked solution for digital valve monitoring and partial stroke testing." SVM delivers predictive maintenance data from widely distributed areas for use by operators to reduce shutdowns and improve overall plant efficiency. The system integrates into existing Ethernet and fiberoptic infrastructure. At the facility, this feature enables over 100 monitored valve actuators on wellheads at numerous locations — to be networked over distances of 10 km or more.
