Abstract:
A safety valve is outfit with sensors to monitor performance. The safety valve may include valve mechanics comprising a closure component moveable relative to a seat. The device may also have a pre-load unit coupled with the closure component. The pre-load unit may utilize a coiled compression spring to generate spring force to keep the closure component in contact with the seat. A strain gauge may be disposed on the compression spring to measure strain, for example, shear strain in the compression spring. Analysis of this data may predict set pressure (or “set point”). This prediction may, in turn, form a basis for an alert or other indicator that the safety valve requires maintenance or repair.

Claim (Index 17):
A method, comprising:\n receiving strain data from a sensor affixed on a coil that is spaced part from ends of a compression spring on a safety valve, where deformation of the compression spring allows the safety valve to open at a preset inlet pressure; using the strain data, determining pressure required to compress the compression spring in response to the preset inlet pressure; and generating an output that is configured to cause pre-emptive maintenance on the safety valve to occur in response to the pressure deviating from a threshold criteria.
