Can valve pressure tests be witnessed at the manufacturer?
Yes. When the agreed test procedure, valve details and requested date are provided, pressure and functional tests can be attended and reported.
Valve & Piping Inspection in Finland
Inspection and test-witnessing support for industrial valves, actuators, piping assemblies and related mechanical components.
Valve and piping inspection covering identification, materials, dimensions, pressure and functional tests, markings, records and final condition.
Valve inspection points
The inspection is based on the valve data, drawings, purchase requirements and agreed test procedure.
- Valve identification, size, class, body and trim information available on the item or records
- Visual condition, flange or end connections, orientation and accessories
- Material and traceability records when included
- Actuator, position indication and visible assembly checks
- Marking, coating and final condition
Pressure and functional test witnessing
Observed tests can be recorded against the procedure and specified test conditions.
- Shell or body pressure tests when applicable
- Seat leakage or closure tests included in the procedure
- Actuator stroke, position indication or functional checks
- Test pressure, duration and observed result information available during witnessing
Piping and final verification
Piping assemblies and valve packages can also require dimensional, identification and delivery checks.
- Spool or assembly identification and drawing reference
- Dimensions and connection orientation when requested
- Support, accessory and completeness observations
- Protection, flange covers, markings and packing condition
FIELD INSIGHT
What matters during the inspection
Valve pressure testing requires more than observing pressure on a gauge. Valve identification, test direction, shell or seat test stage, hold time, leakage criterion, actuation and the exact test medium should be traceable to the approved requirement.
TECHNICAL BASIS
Documents and standards
For Valve and Piping Inspection, the technical basis comes from the purchase order, project specification, approved supplier documents and equipment requirements. IEC, EN, ISO, ASME, API or other references are used only when they are specified for the actual equipment or project.
- Valve data sheet / purchase specification
- Approved pressure / seat leakage test procedure
- Applicable test record and acceptance criteria
- Gauge / instrument calibration records
- Material, marking and final inspection records when required
REAL FIELD INSPECTION
Inspection work in real industrial environments
Selected examples of real inspection work, including motor and electrical testing, valve checks, dimensional verification, document review and industrial equipment inspection.
