Bakersfield, CA (PRWEB) August 20, 2013 -- GWC Valve International (http://www.gwcvalve.com/) recommends that valves be inspected on a regular schedule. Routine inspection and maintenance after valve installation is necessary to ensure critical areas of the valve are operational. These five tips from Dave Meador, CEO of GWC Valve International, helps companies prepare for regular valve inspection and hire a third party company.
Tip # 1: Dave Meador, CEO of GWC Valve International, said, “Setting up a routine valve maintenance program can catch noticeable leaks. A maintenance program should include regularly scheduled inspection of critical areas.” Frequent visual inspection can suffice for leak and cracking checks, however, in depth inspection of valves is recommended to be once a year.
Tip # 2: CEO of GWC Valve International, Dave Meador (http://www.gwcvalve.com/), said,” When it comes to a dedicated team of inspectors, ensuring quality control is easier than before because it maintains the quality. Maintenance and repairs are imperative to the life of your valves.” Prepare your 3rd party team to inspect the valves at least once a year. Ensure they have certification for the requirements of the operation and inspection in the valve industry.
Tip # 4: Ensure that the third party inspection agency is licensed and insured. Having API and ASME certification is essential for valve inspectors to fully be able to examine valves and comply with federal regulations.
Tip # 5: Keep records of all inspections for at least three years. Maintaining records of valve inspection and service, if needed, is important for companies to ensure proper paperwork.
