- Serial or tag number
03
Review factors
Condition, documents, and value context
Condition
Equipment exposed to highly corrosive chemical environments often requires close inspection for internal pitting, lining degradation, or flange face damage. Valves that were thoroughly flushed and neutralized prior to removal generally retain higher residual value.
Documentation
Maintenance logs, original material test reports (MTRs), and decontamination certificates are highly useful for verifying equipment history and safety.
Evaluation context
Evaluation typically considers the specific metallurgy, the condition of internal linings, overall size, and the current secondary market demand for specialized chemical process equipment.
04
Freight and site facts
Plan around the real load and access conditions
Freight arrangements and rigging requirements depend heavily on the size of the vessels and the total weight of the valve pallets at the facility.
Equipment-source context to document
- Facility maintenance stores and project surplus
- Shutdown, upgrade, or decommissioning inventory
- Contractor, distributor, and warehouse-held surplus
Loading details to share
- Equipment dimensions and weight
- Pallet or skid condition
- Forklift, crane, or dock access
- Gate, appointment, and site restrictions

Start with the nameplate
Send the facts you have. Leave unknown fields honest.
Clear photographs and a basic inventory list are useful. Do not repair, energize, pressurize, or move equipment solely for this form.
