Connection and installation dimensions
Connection, face-to-face length and operator clearance are checked against the approved valve drawing. The dimensional record carries the valve identity, size and drawing revision.
Operator travel and assembly
The operator is checked through its opening and closing travel. The position indication, stops and stem connection must correspond to the closure movement. Gear assemblies and bonnet fasteners remain part of the supplied valve configuration.
Shell and closure tests
A shell test checks the pressure-containing assembly; a closure test checks leakage across the closed seat. The order test specification states the method, pressure, duration and leakage criterion. API 598 is a valve inspection and testing reference when specified for the selected construction.
Records tied to the valve line
Material and inspection records are supplied for the ordered model and schedule tag, including its body, trim, seat, size and rating.
