What condition would trigger control valve and positioner check instead of the calendar?

Positioner diagnostics reporting deviation, friction or travel alerts, or the loop showing sustained deviation from setpoint

What evidence does control valve and positioner check produce for an ISO 55001 or ISO 45001 audit?

Positioner diagnostic export per valve and the service record keyed to the alert

Control valve and positioner check

Q: Can control valve and positioner check move from a fixed interval to a condition-based check?

Convertible: a monitored condition can replace the fixed interval. A smart positioner records a valve signature every time it moves. The annual strip-down was a way to find out what the signature already says.

What does a control valve and positioner check involve?

Control valve and positioner check checks: valve travel deviation, friction (from the positioner signature), air consumption, control loop error. Observed by smart positioner diagnostics through the asset management system. The interval: a monitored condition can replace the fixed interval.

Condition that replaces the interval: Positioner diagnostics reporting deviation, friction or travel alerts, or the loop showing sustained deviation from setpoint
Reading that proves it: Valve travel deviation, friction (from the positioner signature), air consumption, control loop error
Evidence an auditor accepts: Positioner diagnostic export per valve and the service record keyed to the alert
First move: Enable the positioner alerts in the instrument asset management software; most are shipped with them off.
