Seat Leakage (Class IV to VI): Valve fails to achieve required shutoff class. Causes include seat damage, thermal distortion, or foreign material between plug and seat.
Repair: Lap plug and seat ring to restore sealing surfaces. If damage exceeds 0.005", replace trim. For Class VI (bubble-tight) shutoff, soft seat inserts may be required. Lead time: 2-4 weeks.
Positioner Calibration Drift: DVC6200 or 3582 positioner loses calibration due to vibration, temperature extremes, or component aging. Valve doesn't respond accurately to control signal.
Repair: Recalibrate positioner (auto-calibration on DVC6200). If hardware failure, replace positioner. DVC6200 lead time: 1-2 weeks. Legacy 3582: 2-4 weeks or source from surplus.
Complete valve rebuild: 3-6 weeks — full teardown, all internals, hydro/seat test
