Services Offered By Valve Modification Companies

By Dennis Hughes


Valves are used for controlling the passage of any fluid such as liquids, gases, slurries, and vapor, through the use of a pipe or duct. It allow the movement of fluid in one direction only. The different types of valves include check, pinch, ball, globe, gate, plug, butterfly, diaphragm, control, pressure relief, and etc. Each of this has different models and each model has different features and functionalities.

Evolving valve designs are being used now in wide range of industry applications. Most of the valve modification companies are already offering these alteration services. And because these items are very expensive, it is very important that it will be specified with correct functions and with correct materials for processing of the liquids.

New commodities today have been invented and these are being used of. And the result of this is most of the users now may not purchase it anymore because it is not viable financially. So having to put up valve industries can be a very good idea in order to meet the client demands.

New commodities will be placed in those kind of industries for its installation and for any modifications. A new commodity is to be installed since it is not available on the original material. Before, supplies are always stable because many people would order and purchase more and more items for extra stocks. And actually, storehouses have been storing huge stocks of special valves, and this resulted to lower inventories for the distributors.

So what they did was to stock ordinary valves and let the local shops install new commodities in order to meet the customer demands. Special valves offered by manufacturers can be created in mod shops or trim shops, as they are called in Houston TX areas. Some of the jobs that shops do in these areas are trim changes for steels, bore schedule changes, special packing and gaskets, and many more.

Because there are a lot of orders from clients, items are usually delivered within 4 to 6 weeks, and this takes so long. But nowadays, deliveries only run for a week or less. Shops must respond quickly and vertical integration is very important.

When you try to get inside in higher caliber shops, you can see manual and computer numerical control machines, welding, heat treatment furnaces, AutoCAD soft wares, and testing facilities. All of these equipment are being tied together in a computer tracking system. Mechanical engineers and welding engineers are also present in these shops since in house engineering is also very important.

There are situations wherein companies would try to perform a modification to a manufactured product. But it would usually result to unsatisfied customers for the reason that they do not like the design of the manufacturer. And the root cause of this is not meeting right product requirements. Modifications made by companies are very much useful to manufacturers and distributors, and also to the users.

A manufacturer benefits from this, since they will become more focus on high productions and not on the slow assembly of specials. A manufacturer benefits also from receiving those critical and special valves affordably and timely. A distributor benefits by not spending much on those stocked specials.
