5. Identify and resolve the main faults in fluid circuit components (air, water, compressed air, steam, etc.).

In the context of preventive maintenance or partial or complete renovation, apply the FMEA method to identify the main faults in fluid circuits (air, water, compressed air, steam, etc.).

5.1 Assessing the criticality of component failures

Critical fluid circuits present major risks in the event of failure:

  • leaks (compressed air, steam) leading to energy losses and health risks;

  • corrosion/erosion (water, steam) leading to pipe ruptures or contamination ;

  • contamination (particles, humidity) reducing equipment efficiency ;

  • overheating or overpressure damaging components.
