The making of a valve in Saboo
is an exercise in precision. Valve bodies are manufactured in the plant
and all other components are sourced from approved vendors. At the first
stage, the ten components involved in making a valve undergo rigid checks
for quality as well as dimensions. More than 50 gauges and gauge sets are
used for the dimensional checking of these components.
Forged valve bodies are
then machined to precision on auto lathes. Once the basic valve body is
ready, ten components are painstaking assembled on the valve body by our
experts. The valves then go through the laid down testing methods- Strict
and uncompromising. Each valve is subject to pneumatic test. A test is
also conducted to check tightness of valve spindle and valve housing with
the valve spindle in closed position. And tightness of joint packing and
housing with valve spindle in open position from inlet. In the ultimate
test, on sample from each batch is subjected to 5000 opening and closing
cycles.
