Valve measurement

Overview

‍

Accurate valve measurement / data collection is the critical first step within any project.

The Alcatraz valve measurement service provides precision on-site measurement of valves, actuators, gearboxes and associated equipment to ensure that every product is correctly specified, manufactured and fitted.

Our experienced engineers measure all relevant dimensions, record valve types, sizes and configurations, and produce detailed measurement reports that form the basis of the interlocking design.

‍

‍

What we measure

‍

•   Valve type, size and pressure class

•   Stem dimensions and travel

•   Actuator and gearbox mounting interfaces

•   Handwheel diameter and drive configuration

•   Mounting bolt patterns and clearances

•   Orientation and accessibility constraints

•   Associated pipework and restrictions

‍

How it works

‍

An Alcatraz service engineer visits your site, takes all necessary measurements and records the complete valve configuration. This data is used to specify the correct interlock type, size and mounting arrangement. Measurement reports are delivered promptly, forming the engineering basis for product manufacture and installation planning.

‍

Why it matters

‍

Incorrect measurements lead to incorrect products, installation delays and potential safety gaps. Our professional measurement service eliminates this risk, ensuring first-time-right installation and commissioning.

Applications

‍

New products, specification projects, plant expansion or modification, valve replacement programmes, brownfield retrofit installations and any project where accurate valve data is required for a product design.
