Improving Your Plant’s Uptime, Output and Bottom Line

Trevitest® Mark VIII™

On an ongoing basis, it’s your responsibility to ensure that your plant’s reliefvalves are operating at peak efficiency and meeting all safety requirements.How do you do that?

Right now the only way to know if a valve needs repair is if it fails or by shutting downthe line and testing each valve. Either of these options will cost you - time, productivi-ty, money. That was then, this is now.

With the Trevitest® Mark VIII™ diagnostic recorder you now have the ability to test andidentify valves in need of repair with no operational interruptions. This technology givesyou the means to accurately test every valve, performed in place, on line and under nor-mal operating pressure and temperature. What does this really mean to you? It meansyour plant will be able to maintain and even improve upon productivity and profitabili-ty. It means you can relax. Your valves have been Furmanited.

Trevitest - the Standard in Test and Measurement

In addition to its ability to keep your lines up and operational, even during the testingprocess, what truly sets Trevitest apart from any other diagnostic recorder is its capabil-ity to measure several types of phenomena when a user is testing most any steam, vaporand liquid safety and safety relief valves.

The challenge was straightfor-ward. The testing of eight,6’’ x 10” Farris Relief Valves locat-ed on vessels containing 202 tonsof liquid petroleum gas (propane)at the British Gas Llandarcy plant.In the past, the testing of eachvalve would take 3-4 days. WithTrevitest Mark VIII, all eight werefully tested in just 16 hours with-out any interruption to the plant.

Testing Times

The success of this initial projecthas convinced British Gas toinclude the Trevitest System aspart of its ten-year workshop andoverhaul procedure. A “finger-print” will be taken of each valvein the workshop and this will thenbe tested in situ to assess theneed for valve overhaul.

Furmanite Secures TenYear Testing Contract

The Trevitest Mark VIII has the ability to measure a valve’s spindle deflection (lift poten-tiometer) or valve discharge (acoustic detection), as well as inlet pressure (pressuretransducer). This is in addition to measuring the spring relaxation force (load cell) thathas been available with previous versions.

In other words, Furmanite has engineered a state-of-the-artvalve test solution that enables users to measure pressure,lift or displacement, and sound via acoustic detection. Italso allows users to select critical measurements of forceand line pressure with amazing precision and accuracy.

With the Mark VIII, not only do you have a tool that isnotably more powerful and dynamic than anything elseavailable on the market, but it is remarkably lightweightand modular in design. This considerably enhances itsability to be used under variable plant conditions, as wellas to integrate with other specialty diagnostic equipmentrequired in user-specific applications.

Trevitest - Unlike the Rest

Traditional recorders (including all other existing testing equipment) only measure forceand sometimes pressure. Selecting appropriate force at the precise moment that a valve’sspring tension is overcome is not only difficult, but sometimes possible only through theobservance of the technician – until now.

The Trevitest’s capability to measure a valve’s spindle deflection or valve discharge viaacoustic detection serves as a marker to coincide with the force at the precise instance that avalve’s spring tension is overcome and set pressure is achieved. This new functionality resultsin the most accurate and repeatable selection pos-sible of force and line pressure, which translatesinto phenomenal set pressure accuracy.

Another feature that is unique to the TrevitestMark VIII is its proprietary software, allowingfor simplified collection and color reproductionof all calibrations and graphical traces of eachvalve tested. All of these enhancements enableFurmanite to provide customers with the mostcomprehensive valve test diagnostic recordsavailable on the market today.
