Abstract: For determining the operability of a fluid driven safety valve, a method comprising the following steps is described: A partial stroke test is performed on the safety valve, resulting in a stroke-pressure curve. The stroke pressure curve is extrapolated (330, 340) beyond the measured range (360) up to the safety closing position (350). From the extrapolated stroke-pressure curve, the closing pressure reserve (320) can be determined. In this way, the functionality of the safety valve can be checked during operation.

Abstract: A system to determine a real process parameter of a real field device in a real flow route of a process plant can include an interface and a virtual twin flow route that may virtually represent the real flow route. A twin process fluid flow is virtually influenced according to a twin influence factor. The virtual twin flow route may: receive, via the interface, a real initial parameter of the real process fluid flow and/or of the real field device, and virtually determine, fluid flow upstream or downstream, a twin process parameter of the twin field device corresponding to the real field device using the at least one twin influence factor, the virtually determined twin process parameter being supplied to the at least one real field device as the to be determined real process parameter for further influencing the real process fluid flow.

Abstract: A method is detect inadequate valve seat integrity in a control element of a control valve is proposed, wherein during a calibration time interval the position of the control element of the control valve in the closed position are repeatedly measured and recorded. Measuring of the position in the closed position continues during operation, and a moving average value is determined over a specified number of values. A threshold is determined from the calibration data set and the specified number. If the moving average deviates from the average of the calibration data by more than this threshold, a message is output. In particular, no additional sensors or scanning devices are required and a sensible compromise between early fault detection and avoidance of false diagnoses is achieved.

Abstract: A control valve configured to set a process fluid stream of a processing plant can include a valve housing, a valve component, an annular-groove-shaped seal reception, and a seal. The valve housing can include an inlet, an outlet and an aperture extending between the inlet and the outlet along a longitudinal axis. The valve component can be mounted on the valve housing and can be a valve seat and/or a valve cage. The annular-groove-shaped seal reception can be confined by the valve component and the valve housing. The seal can be fit into the seal reception. The valve component and the valve housing can each form a respective ledge protruding in a radial direction to define the annular-groove-shaped seal reception. The ledges can each be configured to confine the seal reception in a respective axial direction.

Abstract: In a closed loop control method for an electropneumatic field device, an electronic target value input of a command variable corresponding to a target value of a control center is received by the open loop and/or closed loop control electronics, an electronic output for a manipulating variable to pilot the electropneumatic converter is generated by the open loop and/or closed loop control electronics; and, in a predetermined operating condition of the field device, the manipulating variable is determined by a closed loop control algorithm based on the command variable and on another controlled variable different from an actual control member position measurement value.
