Review factors

Condition, documents, and value context

A

Condition

The evaluation process closely examines the integrity of sealing surfaces, signs of internal corrosion, and the operational smoothness of the stem and actuator mechanisms. Valves stored outdoors or exhibiting heavy rust may require more extensive reconditioning.

B

Documentation

Providing original purchase orders, material test reports, and historical maintenance logs significantly assists in verifying the specifications and operational history of the surplus valves.

C

Evaluation context

The potential recovery value of industrial valves is generally influenced by the current market demand for specific types, the construction materials used, overall condition, and the completeness of the accompanying technical documentation.
