Regardless of what industry your organization may occupy, steam remains one of the most effective mediums for transporting thermal energy. The complexity of an organization’s operations determines just how much steam generation there is. Regardless of volume, the process to track this generation of steam is challenging and costly. Understanding this, it’s imperative to take steam flow measurements, typically for billing purposes or process monitoring. The most important predictive maintenance strategy in process lines that include gas or liquid flow revolves around flow metrology. Using a steam flow measurement gauge will alert you if your equipment is creating too much steam. Why is too much steam a problem? It can identify a failing pressure relief valve, safety features, or cooling measures. A lack of steam is just as telling — it could identify a clog or failing electrical or mechanical parts. Understanding that downtime in these instances can be detrimental, it’s imperative that the predictive maintenance strategies and technologies in place can handle any volume of steam. For more information on these predictive maintenance technologies, be sure to read on to the infographic included alongside this post to learn more.
