Leaking valves were yesterday
Studies show that 5-10% of valves in industries are leaking internally and this despite the fact that companies spend more than € 8 billion per year on inspection of equipment.
Leakages can lead to:
- Losses : Leaking valves do not only lead to the loss of process material; in the case of steam valves, leaks also lead to high energy losses.
- Risk of injury : Many valves are used to shut off processes in order to repair equipment in this area. Leaking valves can endanger workers.
- Contamination : Leaks can lead to contamination or, in the worst case, environmental pollution
How do companies handle the problem today?
- Many companies replace valves on a regular basis without diagnosis due to lacking know-how
→ costly - Some companies pause the machines to use test benches
→ time consuming - Only a few companies use mobile inspection systems
→ expert know-how required
