Process Engineering Division – Instrumentation and Automation Section – Daily Topics – Topic No. 2021-01-21: Discussion question: 364. Should the maintenance of control valves be carried out by the instrumentation workshop or by the mechanical maintenance workshop? How is the division of labor in your organization?
The instrument is responsible. For large-scale plants, the maintenance is handled by the mechanical team, while the instrumentation remains under the responsibility of the instrumentation department.
It is the responsibility of the control valve instrument technician; it is part of the control system and inseparable from it
It is usually the instrument workshop that is responsible. The extra-large valve instruments are responsible for the actuator, while the mechanical maintenance team is in charge of the valve body and seat.
There is a shortage of instrument technicians, so the valve body part has been handed over to the maintenance team!
