Review factors
Condition, documents, and value context
Condition
High-pressure service components must be evaluated for internal erosion, seal integrity, and corrosion caused by harsh fracturing fluids. Clear photographs of the flange faces, gate mechanisms, and any visible wear on the body are essential for accurate assessment.
Documentation
Providing original material test reports (MTRs), hydro-test certificates, and maintenance logs significantly assists in verifying the operational history and specification compliance of the valves.
Evaluation context
General evaluation considers the specific pressure class, material composition, current market demand for the sizes offered, and the availability of original manufacturing documentation.
