H Company gas and pressure valve sound analysis

Out-of-range sounds from pressure control valves in a petrochemical plant are detected early

Target sound

Pressure valve abnormal sound

Project overview

A case connecting abnormal sounds from repeated ultra-high-pressure valve operation to equipment safety diagnosis

Field challenge

  • Repeated bolt fracture history made early detection important
  • Subtle movement and short operating cycles made normal/anomaly separation difficult
  • The sounds can support plant safety diagnosis and pipe leakage diagnosis
