Abstract

PURPOSE:To foresee leak before the generation by monitoring the insulation resistance value of the gland packing of a valve casing constantly, and generating a caution warning and an alarm at the insulation resistance value larger than the leak generating insulation resistance value. CONSTITUTION:The leak of a gland part is generated due to the wear, degradation, wound and looseness of packing, and when this cause is advanced, water, steam, and the like enter into a stem through part 1a from the valve casing 1 side and soak into the packing 3, and its insulation resistance value is lowered with the lapse of time, thus generating leak at the insulation resistance value Z0. The resistance values Z1, Z2 (Z1>Z2) larger than the insulating resistance value Z are therefore set in a computing element 12, so that a caution warning is generated when the input Z is Z1>=Z>Z2, and an alarm is generated in the case of Z<=Z2. With this constitution, the leak from the gland part can be known in advance.
