On-Line Test System for Safety Valves
Pressure Safety Valves are installed on process equipment to release excess pressure caused by faulty process operations, external fires and other hazards. Or to put it simply ‘the safety valve serves to protect life and property.’ Failure of pressure safety valves to function correctly may result in the serious damage of vessels, exchangers, boilers or other such critical equipment. It is essential therefore to maintain pressure safety valves and relief valves in good condition. Periodic testing is one of the most important elements you can provide in order to ensure that the valves function correctly and thus provide the protection required.
In-Situ Testing
Ideally, the most desirable type of test is one that subjects the pressure relief valve to the full operating conditions that it is to endure in service. The MCE RV test system enables you to test your spring operated safety valves on site, without interruption to the process operation. With this (commonly called) ‘hot testing’ the safety valve stays on-line and no dismantling of the valve or more importantly a plant shutdown is not required.
We emphasise
• No Plant Shutdown
• No loss of productivity
• No loss of profit
