Using the SKF Microlog Analyzer for Leak Detection

Every plant has hundreds, or even thousands, of valves. If leakage occurs in these valves, the results are always bad; lost product, contamination, safety violations, etc. In addition, one of the higher cost plant operating systems, plant air, is typically one of the systems with the highest leakage. By applying the SKF Microlog for valve leakage measurements, leaks can be detected without disassembling the valve.

Following are three case studies that illustrate SKF Microlog use for detection of valve leakage.
