Did you know all of our remanufactured Fisher valves are hydrostatic and seat leak tested to ANSI/ISA standards? Additionally, we test all actuator springs for proper spring rating and all trim materials are verified with a Niton XL2 Analyzer. Ultrasonic thickness testing helps determine proper valve body wall thickness. We also offer a Be...nchmark Control Valve Diagnostics report upon request, which provides a comprehensive diagnostic report on your valve. Check out this article for an in-depth account of how we ensure the performance and reliability of our remanufactured Fisher control valves: https://hubs.ly/H0xGtZ90 #tryreman #processindustry #controlengineering #controlvalves #fishervalves #foxboro #43AP #oilandgas #midstream #paperandpulp #chemicalmanufacturing

This is an excellent article from Efficient Plant that takes a deep dive into the importance of precision maintenance. Here are four key takeaways: 1. Reliability is everyone's responsibility, regardless of job title. 2. It's not how much data you collect that's important. It's how you use that data. 3. Moving a machine in poor condition to a precise state can more than double its life expectancy. ... 4. Reducing frictional loads in your processes can yield direct ROI in electrical consumption savings. What benefits have you seen from implementing a precision maintenance program? https://hubs.ly/H0vXMgG0
