While Emergency Shut Down Valves (ESDVs) are designed as a safety measure, potential problems can occur if the actuator is unable to shut the valve completely, so it’s important to ensure they are operating properly.

How Can You Be Certain of Their Condition?

Several Proconex customers have taken Operational Certainty to an entirely new level. With traditional methods, you can send a signal to verify that your ESDV either opens or closes; however, that’s the limit of your information. You can’t determine HOW the valve is closing.
  • Is it sticking or jumping around?
  • Does the actuator have to put out more force than normal?
  • Where is the point of failure?

Be prepared for the next time you need maintenance or long lead times when ordering a replacement valve.

By using the Fisher® FlowScanner 6000, you have more data, are better prepared, and can meet insurance and government or insurance documentation requirements. While the reports can definitely help you with compliance, this issue is mostly about safety. ESDV Testing is a cost–effective service that the Proconex Mechanical Services team can provide.
