Emerson FlowScanner 6000 Version 6.6 Valve Diagnostic Tool Integrates with KVAP Software
Melissa Larson | April 14, 2015
Emerson Process Management’s FlowScanner 6000 Version 6.6 valve diagnostic tool now seamlessly integrates with the Kalsi Valve & Actuator Program (KVAP) from Kalsi Engineering, Inc. This integration allows efficient tracking and trending analysis and direct feedback to calculate functional margin in accordance with ASME OM Code Mandatory Appendices III and IV.
The FlowScanner 6000 can be used to evaluate the performance of all makes and models of air-operated control valves. According to Emerson, this powerful, highly portable field-test instrument (part of the company’s comprehensive FlowScanner 6000 Valve Diagnostic System) is ideally suited for process plant conditions.
A user simply hooks up the FlowScanner 6000 to a valve and he/she is ready to evaluate its operating conditions and identify any corrective actions that might be needed. No removal or disassembly of the valve is required.
KVAP is software used to perform design basis calculations for common types of valves and actuators used in air-operated valves and motor-operated valves. KVAP includes validated models based on comprehensive flow loop testing that provide accurate and bounding predictions, potentially resulting in larger margins.
