VOTES Infinity Check Valve Data Acquisition & Basic Analysis
Class ID: TR-9-91600-HA
Description
This course instructs students in the use of acoustic, eddy current, and ultrasonic technologies used for check valve diagnostics. Instruction and hands on activities will demonstrate how to acquire and analyze data to verify proper operation of check valves. Students will learn advanced techniques for acoustics, eddy current and ultrasonic theory and application and operational issues for check valve diagnosis. using a flow loop
- Standard Class Size: 6 Students per Instructor
- Maximum Class Size: 8 Students per Instructor
- Course Duration: 4 days
- Supplied Materials: Electronic training manual for each student
- Suggested Attendees: MOV cognizant engineers, electricians, mechanics, Check valve, instrument & control, and maintenance engineers
- Course Description: The course will instruct students in the use of acoustics, eddy current and ultrasonic devices used for check valve diagnostics. The student will be shown the proper installation techniques for the diagnostic transducers and operation of the VOTES Infinity Check Valve system. The instructor will demonstrate how to acquire and the store the signatures to provide information concerning the operation of check valves. Operational issues covered during the class will include; detecting non-operational check valves, frequency of disk utter, disk position in flow, and backseat disk tapping. The student will become familiar with the VOTES Infinity Check Valve system software features for evaluation purposes.
Each student will be required to pass a written test with a minimum score of 80% in order to successfully complete this course. Upon successful completion of this training course, the student will:
- Properly install all of the VOTES Infinity Check Valve Data Acquisition System Components in preparation for data acquisition.
- Acquire, store, and perform basic analysis on a complete set of signatures from each of the function tests; stable ow test, stroke test, and leak test.
- Identify common degradations associated with check valves and derive their possible causes.
After completing this course, the student will:
- Describe the purpose of a check valve and the most common types of check valves tested.
- Explain the general maintenance of check valves.
- Describe the different testing categories implemented regarding check valves.
- Discuss the basic ow path of the check valve data acquisition software.
- Describe the principles of UT, AE, EC testing.
- Perform the proper installation of all applicable equipment.
- Perform the data acquisition and signature analysis routines including, stable ow test, stroke test, manual mode, live display, leak test, baseline, trending and comparison reports and data analysis, and explain the outcomes.
- Increased knowledge of check valve operation and terminology.
- Increase the plant’s self-sufficiency in check valve testing.
- Increase the reliability of the plant’s check valves.
- Reduce the plant’s cost of check valve diagnostic testing.
