Dresser Masoneilan announces the launch of the next generation ValScope-PRO, a diagnostic tool for control valves with both conventional and digital positioners.
The ValScope-PRO helps customers identify problems by providing a scientific evaluation of valves in operation. The tool is portable, enabling users to troubleshoot valves in-line and in harsh environments to determine which valves need to be removed. A graphic interface allows users to view the valve as it is being tested and providing real-time analysis. The ValScope-PRO is compatible with analog, Fieldbus, and HART communication protocols.
ValScope-PRO is designed to address key areas that are important to customers including:
- User Friendly — The system is easy to set-up on any control valve anywhere in a facility. The touchscreen interface enables simple operation, and advanced data processing functionality allows a technician to view information quickly and clearly through a “medical record” report.
- Ability to Test Valves and Positioners In-Line — By being able to test valves in line, customers can pre-order replacement parts, remove valves from service only when necessary, and return valves to service quickly. Additionally, ValScope-PRO enables positioners to be checked and calibrated in-line.
- Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities — The system features advanced diagnostic capabilities and is capable of testing more than 35 different criteria, including profile, deadband, step response and frequency. Tests can be sequenced to run automatically.
