Periodic Test and Maintenance Requirements
8.5
Partial Stroke Diagnostic Coverage / Test Coverage
Considering the application of the above described Partial Stroke Test procedure, for all
automatic methods indicated, the “Diagnostic Coverage” can be considered >90%.
In case of manual procedure the “Test Coverage” shall take into account also the test
imperfection and the reliability/competence of the operator.
8.6
Periodic Maintenance
GVO-CLP-SR/FS actuators are designed to operate long-term in heavy-duty operating
conditions, without maintenance needs. Periodicity and regularity of inspections is
particularly influenced by specific environmental and working conditions. They can be
initially determined experimentally and then be improved according to actual maintenance
conditions and needs.
Anyway every two years of operation an inspection is required: for the relevant procedures
please refer to GVO-CLP-SR/FS Use and maintenance manual (Emerson document MAN
617_GVO Section 5).
