Q & A > Question Details
Is there any simple tool for detecting passing among a valve (PSV,PCV,...)? I heard something about some pen type simple detectors for operators. Has anybody more information about this kind of tools?

We also use an acoustic meter to detect it. In fact we are also procuring a second meter from a good company based at Chennai. There are software calculations also, to quantify the losses.

Use acoustic meter to check the passability of PSVs

We use Acoustic Meter for testing the healthiness of the PSVs and control Valves. It accurately tells whether any passing is present or not.
