Large population of hydraulic valves &
control units are in operation
Problem Description: Leaking O-Rings at the valve ports
 Root Cause for Leakage Costs
Leakage is caused by the Compression Set of Elastomer-based
O-Ring Materials

 Time, Pressure and Temperature lead to permanent

deformation of elastomer based materials.
 O-Rings loose their shape and sealing function.
 Valve and control units begin to leak.

Before After
 Related Costs of Leaking Valves
Every Facility has Leaking Hydraulic Valves & Control Units

 Leakage costs Money:

 Additional maintenance efforts
 Production-Line shut down for maintenance
 Clean-up costs (external companies)
 Leakage disposal costs
 Maintenance order processing

 Environmental Concerns (ISO14001)

 Equipment Reliability
Cost Saving Potential for Seal Materials:
Each order process of seal material is initiated by a maintenance issue
and related with costs.
