1 Intended Use of the Equipment
The ValveWatch II system is intended for permanent installation and long term monitoring,
trending and analysis of critical parameters for industrial equipment. Although ValveWatch was
primarily developed for monitoring Emergency Shutdown Valves (ESD) for the petroleum
industry, the design also allows other general purpose equipment parameter monitoring. The
parameters measured are useful for determining equipment operation and integrity. Early
awareness of degradations in parameters can lead to advanced scheduling of maintenance tasks
before serious equipment damage or safety hazards occur.
