We have submitted prototype design of one size of Gate Valve for design appraisal to M/S. TUV India giving complete details of design calculations of all important components meeting design requirements for API 600 stem/ wedge connection and we have received appraised letter for the same. More designs are in the process of appraisal.
Testing Facilities :
We have unique testing facilities to test large number of valves of different types, size & pressure ratings. Flanged end valves are mounted one above other in a battery form with the help of overhead electric hoist of 5T capacity. All forged steel valves are mounted in a separate test rig 10 valves at a time.
Valves are pressured hydrostatically by separate booster pumps, Low pressure, medium pressure and high pressure capacities.
All booster pumps are connected to common control panel where pressure are set for seat & shell separately each for 150, 300, 600, 1500, 2500 class Pressure rating. This unique arrangement is automatic and very fast to test large no of valves. All calibrated pressure gauges are used for testing.
