Abstract

A method for evaluating a condition of at least one sealing element of a valve is disclosed. The method includes actuating the valve between an open position and a closed position for a first cycle-time and recording and storing a first dataset of measured force of at least one sealing element, actuating the valve for a second cycle-time and recording and storing a second dataset of the at least one sealing element, comparing the first dataset to the second dataset or a predefined dataset to determine a difference or change or shift between the first dataset and the second dataset, and outputting the condition of the at least one sealing element based on the difference or change or shift.
