At Babcock Valves we learned from our experience that any small detail on any part of a valve is critical to ensure the proper functioning of the whole valve.
Here we can see the process of reception and dimensional control of two wedges for a 6″ 2500# Pressure Seal Gate Valve. -BV Figure 25- done by the expertised eye of one of our co-workers.
This quality control process involves meticulous inspection and verification of the valve’s dimensions, including critical measurements such as size, shape, and alignment of key components.
At Babcock Valves, we conduct dimensional control to ensure that our products meet precise specifications and standards set for their intended applications. This involves checking the dimensions of the valve body, bonnet, stem, disc, and other critical parts to guarantee they align with design requirements. Accurate dimensions are crucial for proper installation, reliable operation, and compatibility with other system components.
The dimensional control process utilizes precision measuring tools and techniques to assess tolerances and ensure that each valve meets the specified criteria for its intended use. It helps prevent issues such as misalignment, leakage, or operational failures that could result from improperly sized or shaped components.
In addition to meeting industry standards, dimensional control is essential for ensuring the interchangeability and compatibility of valves and their components within a system. This is particularly important for maintenance and replacement purposes, as valves and/or their components need to be easily replaceable without requiring extensive modifications to the existing infrastructure.
