공기구동 게이트밸브의 운전 성능평가 방법에 관한 연구

The valve performance has been evaluated from the theoretical equation based on design information such as packing thrust, spring preload and friction coefficient(μ). The accuracy of those data can be lower than that of vendor's initial design data. Especially, the friction coefficient can be degraded with time than the original condition and the valve performance calculated using the previous friction coefficient can not be available. Accordingly, this paper is describing a new performance evaluation method of valve based on diagnostic test data which are acquired from a site valve tested in static and dynamic conditions. Especially, this paper provides a new method using friction coefficient(μ) which is derived from the diagnostic test data acquired in the valve's design basis condition.
