Preventive maintenance plan for instrumentation – what should instrumentation technicians do?
Thread Content
Preventive maintenance is becoming increasingly important these days, and it generally involves a combination of preventive repairs and repairs carried out in response to failures. So, what tasks should be undertaken for preventive maintenance in the field of instrumentation? Let’s discuss together; it’s best to have standards and sample tables.
I’ll throw out a preliminary idea: I think that since preventive maintenance is to be carried out, there should be corresponding plans and standards for it, such as the types of instruments to be used, the contents of inspections and maintenance, the inspection standards, and the frequency of these activities
The service life of different types varies, so it is necessary to classify them first based on the type of instrument.
The types are definitely different, but each has its own set of preventive maintenance tasks
For example, DCS system inspections and periodic calibration of instruments fall under this category
This is a great question. Does anyone have any information on this topic that they can share?
No one in the industry is willing to share: lol
Three years have passed – how effective is preventive maintenance, what are the criteria, and could you share them? Email: 234140037@qq.com
It is recommended to first classify devices based on their importance, categorize and grade the instruments, develop preventive and predictive maintenance plans for critical devices, and determine the frequency at which these maintenance plans should be carried out； In fact, predictive maintenance for instruments is quite difficult to implement. It is mainly reflected in the uniqueness or irreversibility of the instrumentation equipment (in the refining industry). Furthermore, the available options are limited; if anyone has any good methods, please share them with me at 617612039@qq.com
