How Valve Sense works
The first solution that combines acoustic emission testing with today's digital possibilities.
Acoustic emission testing digitalized
Place the sensor on the closed valve. The Valve Sense AI detects high-frequency stress waves from leaking media and calculates the leak rate in real time. No manual interpretation needed.
Simple inspection with i.safe MOBILE smartphones
The Senseven app is delivered on the i.safe MOBILE IS540.1 for ATEX Ex Zone 1/21 or IS540.RG for industrial applications. Operators are prepared for the software-guided inspection workflow through a short online training.
Open, cloud-based solution
We build on a cloud-based infrastructure with the possibility to directly integrate into your asset management systems. Access reports, filter results, and track your valve fleet from any browser.
A measurement you can act on.
Place the sensor, follow the guided workflow, read the result. Status, leak rate and measuring points appear directly on the intrinsically safe smartphone.
Today’s nondestructive testing options are outdated
Complex to use and error prone
Need trained and experienced personnel
Require time-consuming analysis
Use proprietary and closed devices
4 minutes to understand how it works
The cost of doing nothing
A single leaking steam valve can cause energy losses of up to EUR 30,000 per year. A typical plant has hundreds of valves. Valve Sense inspects each one in 2 minutes with immediate results on-site.

2 minutes per valve - instead of hours
It's great how quickly you can test for critical leaks with Valve Sense. Inspecting valves used to be complicated and time-consuming in the past, but now it only takes us two minutes per valve.
A full day's work done in under an hour
What used to take our team a full day can now be done in under an hour without shutting down a single valve. Valve Sense fits seamlessly into our operations, and the results are available on the spot. It has genuinely changed how we think about leakage inspection.
Significantly improved efficiency and safety
Inspection efficiency and safety management levels for PSV valves were significantly improved compared to previous practices.
