Assemblies should ideally have intact linkages, unbent brackets, and undamaged couplers. Corrosion on the valve body or water damage to electrical positioners can impact the overall assessment.
Documentation
Original assembly drawings, calibration certificates for positioners, and maintenance logs for the complete package are highly useful.
Evaluation context
Evaluations generally consider the brand reputation of the components, the completeness of the package, and the current market demand for the specific valve and actuator configuration.
