Ensuring Safety & Efficiency: PRV and Critical Gauge Maintenance

February 9, 2025
Return to News

Every industrial operation depends on Pressure Relief Valves (PRVs) and critical gauges to safeguard equipment, personnel, and productivity. When properly maintained, these essential components prevent costly failures and ensure operational continuity.

The Cost of Component Failure

Even small component failures can lead to significant safety risks, unplanned shutdowns, and expensive repairs. PRV and gauge malfunctions often result in production losses that far outweigh the cost of preventative maintenance.

As an ABS and DNV-verified service provider, Flare has seen firsthand how routine maintenance prevents these issues. Regular PRV and gauge servicing not only keeps operations running smoothly but also ensures compliance with industry safety standards—protecting both your workforce and your assets.
