Description
Summary:Control valve is an important instrument in process industry. It has been used to control fluid flow rate in a process control system. The significance of this project is to maintain the quality of a process besides saving maintenance cost by developing a fault detection monitoring system using Acoustic Emission (AE) technique. The concept of AE technique is to attach a sensor at the body of the valve to detect fault and as a monitoring system. Since faults on control valve often happens in the plant, there is a need to carry out background study in order to investigate the problems occurring. This leads to the project objectives that are to design and build test rig for experimentation purposes followed by further analysis on the collected data. Based on the studies that have been done, it is believed that the project is feasible and realizable.
