Valves

Depending on their design, valves can wear at various points. Sealing surfaces and seats are particularly susceptible due to material erosion or corrosion, as well as seals, O-rings and diaphragms that age due to pressure, temperature or chemicals. Moving parts such as valve plugs, stems or guide bushes also wear out due to friction, switching or cavitation. Drive elements and housing areas in the flow channel can also be affected by fatigue, corrosion or erosion. Overall, seals, sealing surfaces and moving parts are exposed to the greatest strains.

The analysis of the sensor data provides precise indications of wear on sealing surfaces, seats, seals, O-rings and diaphragms as well as on valve cones, balls, slides or housing areas in the flow channel. Wear due to misalignment or lack of lubrication on spindles, guide bushes, springs, actuators and pneumatic and hydraulic drives can also be detected reliably. In this way, impending failures can be avoided at an early stage, maintenance measures can be planned in a targeted manner and spare parts can be ordered efficiently: with the positive side effect of keeping stocks to a minimum.
