Emerson Process Management announces that its FlowScanner 6000 Version
6.6 valve diagnostic tool can seamlessly integrate with the Kalsi Valve &
Actuator Program (KVAP) from Kalsi Engineering, Inc.
Emerson’s powerful valve diagnostic tool, the FlowScanner 6000 is used
to evaluate the performance of all makes and models of air operated control
valves.
KVAP is an advanced 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.
This integration between Emerson’s valve diagnostic tool and the KVAP
software allows efficient tracking and trending analysis as well as direct
feedback to calculate functional margin in accordance with ASME OM Code
Mandatory Appendices III and IV.
