Buyer fit
For requirements beyond a catalogue selection
Requirements are reviewed against the selected valve family and approved project scope. Final availability, documentation and inspection requirements are confirmed during quotation.
- ✓Service-specific materials, trim, sealing and actuation requirements
- ✓Project standards, pressure class, end connection and face-to-face constraints
- ✓Customer drawings, approved data sheets and defined inspection hold points
- ✓Manufacturing record packages aligned with the agreed project scope
Project workflow
Engineering-led project definition
- 01
Review operating conditions, media, pressure, temperature and duty cycle.
- 02
Check valve construction, interfaces, materials and applicable standards.
- 03
Confirm drawings, inspection and test plan requirements before manufacture.
- 04
Issue the agreed documentation and release records with the finished valve.
Start with the requirement set
Send the valve data sheet, drawing or project specification.
Include valve type, size, pressure class, material, end connection, medium, temperature, quantity, standards and required documents.
