Review factors
Condition, documents, and value context
Condition
Valves must be free from severe corrosive damage or structural cracks, though surface oxidation from outdoor storage is typically acceptable. Any chemical residue or internal fouling should be clearly noted before evaluation.
Documentation
Providing original material test reports (MTRs), turnaround maintenance logs, and purchase orders helps verify alloy composition and operational history.
Evaluation context
Evaluation considerations typically include the specific alloy grade, overall physical condition, brand reputation, and the completeness of supporting documentation like material test reports.
