What is a Valve Signature? – Part 2
A valve is a pressure vessel with internal moving parts; and when they move, they encounter resistance from other parts and from the flow. The recording of the pressures and forces associated with overcoming these resistances is sometimes called “valve signature”. When plotted over time, the trends are helpful in identifying degradation and other operational problems.
