Condition
Valves and equipment should be evaluated for internal corrosion, seal integrity, and external environmental damage. Unused project surplus typically retains higher value if stored properly with protective end caps.
Documentation
Material test reports, hydrotest records, and original purchase documentation help establish the specification and origin of the equipment.
Evaluation context
Valuation generally depends on the specific API standards met, current condition, size, pressure class, and whether the equipment is unused surplus or decommissioned.
