As an important protective element in industrial equipment, the safety valve's main function is to automatically open when the system pressure exceeds the set value, release excess pressure, and thus protect the safety of equipment and personnel. In order to ensure that the safety valve can work accurately and reliably at critical moments, regular calibration is an essential link. The safety valve offline calibration bench is a professional device designed for this purpose. It can simulate the pressure conditions in the actual working environment and accurately calibrate the safety valve.The working principle of the safety valve offline calibration bench is based on a precise pressure control system and advanced detection technology. First, the calibration bench provides a stable and adjustable pressure source through the internal hydraulic pump station or air source system. This pressure source can simulate various pressure conditions that the safety valve may encounter in actual applications, including normal working pressure, set starting pressure, and possible overpressure conditions.When performing the calibration, the operator first installs the safety valve to be calibrated on the test station of the calibration bench. The calibration bench fixes the safety valve through a clamping mechanism to ensure that its sealing performance is not affected during the test. Subsequently, the operator sets the corresponding test pressure through the control panel of the calibration bench according to the set trip pressure of the safety valve.As the test pressure gradually increases, the pressure gauge of the calibration bench will display the current pressure value in real time. When the pressure reaches the set trip pressure of the safety valve, the safety valve will automatically open and release the pressure. At this time, the pressure gauge of the calibration bench will record the trip pressure value of the safety valve and compare it with the preset set value to determine whether the trip pressure of the safety valve is accurate.In addition to the calibration of the trip pressure, the safety valve offline calibration bench can also test the sealing performance. After the safety valve trips, the calibration bench will continue to increase the pressure to check whether the safety valve can maintain good sealing performance after closing. This step is crucial to ensure that the safety valve can maintain its protective performance after long-term use.In order to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the calibration results, the safety valve offline calibration bench usually uses high-precision pressure sensors and advanced data acquisition systems. These systems can monitor and record the pressure changes during the test in real time and provide accurate calibration data. In addition, the calibration bench is also equipped with various safety protection measures, such as emergency stop buttons, pressure over-limit alarms, etc., to ensure the safety of operators.It is worth mentioning that with the continuous advancement of technology, modern safety valve offline calibration benches have achieved a high degree of automation and intelligence. The operator only needs to input the relevant information of the safety valve through a simple operation interface, and the calibration bench can automatically complete the test process and generate a detailed calibration report. This not only greatly improves the calibration efficiency, but also reduces the risk of errors caused by human operation.In summary, the safety valve offline calibration bench accurately calibrates the safety valve by simulating the pressure conditions in the actual working environment, ensuring that it can work accurately and reliably at critical moments.
