Why Have Your Valves Tested With Us?

Many qualified coatings applicators often have to send your valves to a third party for preparation before they can being the coating process.

This means you spend more money on shipping your cargo and project timelines are usually lengthened to account for the travel time of your valves back and forth.

As well, because your valves will be transported and handled by another team, there is also an increased chance they become damaged or issues happen along the way.

The ideal solution for coating your valves is to take them to the experts who can prepare and coat them in-house.

After they have been coated and meet our standards for approval, we carefully reassemble and test the valves to make sure they are working optimally and are ready to be sent for shipping.

By preparing your valves at our facility, we are able to keep pace with your delivery demands, avoiding any major delays and delivering quicker results for you our customer.

Why is Valve Disassembly, Reassembly, & Testing (DRT) Important?

Several different components make up your valves and assembling all of these pieces together can play a huge role in how well they operate.

Even if the parts are qualified and the valve was originally assembled correctly, if reassembly is done incorrectly the valve will not meet the specified requirements and seal leakage can occur.
