In-Situ Safety Valve Testing

Features of the Tru-Test® System:

• Objective, accurate and reproducible evaluation of set pressure.
• Tests can be “hot”, i.e. in-situ with medium pressure acting on the safety valve,
  or “cold”, i.e. on or off site and in-situ with no medium pressure acting on the safety valve.
• Highly accurate transducers (0.1% accuracy) are used to measure force and lift.
• Fully automatic test and control of test, the test takes place without human operator intervention.
• Pre-programmed computer controlled test cycle.
• Pre-programmed safety limits are sensed and managed automatically during the test cycle in order
  to prevent damage and to provide fail-safe operation.
• An integrated pressure transducer can be used to provide the most accurate measurement of actual
  system pressure at the time of the test and as the test evolves.
• Seetru Tru-Test® equipment is ATEX approved for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres.
• Lift limitation is pre-established and provided to minimise the risk of valve damage or a full lift
  safety valve popping open during test. The computer controlled pre-programmed test eliminates
  the chance that the inherent vagaries of a human operator manually controlling the lift might
  result in the safety valve lifting.
• Ability to provide power driven closure of safety valve, should the valve pop open during test.
• Equipment and procedures designed to enhance operational Health and Safety.
• The Seetru safety valve test method using the Tru-Test® system is widely approved, for instance,
  by Lloyds Register of Shipping and the Insurance Industry.
• Both set pressure and full lift tests available.
• Fully reproducible and objective footprint/benchmark tests for valve health monitoring.
