Devices and systems for measuring the state of a valve, and related methods
Abstract
A device for measuring a state of a valve may include a housing configured to connect to a handle of a valve or a body of a valve, a sensor supported on one of the housing or the valve stem, and an indicator detectable by the sensor. The indicator may be configured to move relative to the sensor in response to movement of a valve stem or valve handle during opening and closing of the valve. The sensor may be configured to detect a position of the indicator to determine a state of the valve. Related systems and methods are also described.
