Valve Condition Monitoring Enters a New Era - V-MAP® G3 from Score Group plc

The affordable, easier to install, complete diagnostic coverage valve condition monitoring equipment and system you have been asking for is now available from Score Diagnostics Limited, part of the Score Group of companies.

The Score Group has a 30+ year track record of delivering market leading solutions for Intelligent Valve Management™ and 20+ years experience in delivering valve condition monitoring services / failure mode effects and diagnostic analysis consultancy. This has been coupled with our vision and of course the excellent guidance given to us by our existing customers, to show us the way forward for creating the market’s best available technology and systems for assuring the required in service performance and integrity of critical valves.

It is no coincidence that this has happened at time when there is an increasing pressure on our customers to comply with operational safety and integrity standards such as IEC 61508/61511, ANSI/ISA-84.00.01, ISO 55,000 and of course to respond to the HSE’s recent KP4 Audit findings in relation to the continuing safe operation of ageing plant and equipment.

Whilst our existing customers are aware that our flag-ship valve monitoring system V-MAP® has been available in the marketplace for almost a decade already in both its first and second generation formats, they are also aware of our continuous improvement culture. In light of this, they requested an enhanced valve condition monitoring solution for safety and process critical valves with the following features :-

• Fully Independent of all Valve and Accessories Manufacturers

• Widest Possible Diagnostic Coverage

• Passive and Non-Invasive Monitoring

• Easier to Install (in both Brownfield and Greenfield Sites)

• Reduced Weight and Space Requirements

• Reduced Installation Costs

• Enhanced Asset Life Cycle Management

• Performance Standards for all Safety Critical Elements

• Maximised Risk Mitigation with Minimised Probability of Failure on Demand

• Unique and Bespoke System Components

• Easy to Interpret Outputs and Alarms

• Evidence to Drive Proactive and Predictive Maintenance Models

• Wireless and Remote Installation Options

The new V-MAP® G3 system gives process and plant owners, integrity and safety assurance engineers as well as maintenance personnel enhanced visibility of all developing failure modes in valves and their operators and further extends the Score range of diagnostic equipment available to monitor in-service performance over time.

V-MAP® G3 (patents applied for) is being exclusively launched to existing and pre-selected key customers by Score Group plc during ONS Week, in Stavanger (25th – 29th August 2014).

Further technical and commercial information is being prepared for the launch and anyone wishing to receive more information on this should contact Score Diagnostics Limited via the existing www.midasvalvediagnostics.com website.
