MIDAS & MIDASTEST

Teledyne Instruments - Test Services, together with our clients, have developed the most comprehensive MOV Design (MIDAS) and Test (MIDASTEST) Databases available to the industry for utility MOV program control.

Many utilities, including Exelon, Entergy, NMC, Progress Energy, First Energy, FPL, PSE&G, and PPL have contracted with TTS to implement this software at their sites.

MIDAS and MIDASTEST software are developed, maintained and documented using software Quality procedures developed by Teledyne. MIDAS and MIDASTEST are delivered with a Certificate of Conformance attesting to this fact.

Teledyne has developed a client/server implementation for MIDAS and MIDASTEST. This allows for a single installation on a server for the entire utility, including all remote sites. Teledyne provides an unlimited usage license for the entire utility.

MIDAS is the primary MOV engineering tool for a utility. It provides:

Thrust/torque set-up window criteria
Design margins, setup margins, and stem COF analysis
PVT margin and interval analysis
What-if margin analysis
Configuration control
Stem nut wear methodology
Powerful export to Excel reporting tool
Global parameter evaluating tool
Voltage drop analysis using ComED or voltage divider methods
AC motor torque analysis using ComED, Limitorque, or Rotork methods
DC motor torque analysis and stroke time analysis using BWROG methodology
EPRI butterfly torque methodology
EPRI unwedging analysis for gate valves
JOG Classification and CAI Rating using JOG methodology
Pressure Locking analysis using ComED methodology (WOG)

MIDASTEST is the primary MOV maintenance tool for a utility. It provides:

MOV diagnostic test preparation
Powerful export to Excel reporting tool
Diagnostic test and PM data review
Comparison of as-found to as-left performance
MOV data analysis and trending
Direct import of as-found and as-left test data and results
