Division of labor for control valve maintenance
Thread Content
I would like to ask everyone: if there is a problem with the valve body of a control valve (for example, it gets stuck), should it be repaired by the instrumentation team or by the mechanical maintenance team?
We all fix the instruments by ourselves :) If we can’t handle the beauty adjustments of the instruments, then we call a mechanic to help!
In most cases, it is the instrument that does the adjustment. Or both parties can send people to carry out the repairs together, avoiding any arguments.
Different companies may have different divisions of labor! It is handled by the fitter team in the instrument workshop.
It’s best for everyone to work together to resolve the issue, so as to avoid situations where everyone shirks responsibility and the matter ends up unaddressed, which would hinder production
The issue of sticking in control valves depends on the size of the valve; for example, valves with a diameter of DN50 or larger require disassembly by equipment maintenance personnel, while those with smaller diameters can be disassembled by instrument technicians. However, instrument technicians do not have the authority to carry out repairs.
