At Valwell Development, we recently welcomed SGS to our facility to conduct PMI (Positive Material Identification) testing—a critical step in reinforcing the quality of our valves. This initiative reflects our commitment to delivering reliable solutions to our clients.
PMI is a non-destructive testing method
that verifies the chemical composition of metals, ensuring components like
chromium and nickel meet precise specifications.
In industries such as oil and gas, where material failures can lead to severe consequences—consider the 2005 Texas City BP refinery explosion that claimed 15 lives—this level of scrutiny is essential.
SGS’s experts utilized XRF equipment to thoroughly inspect our raw materials, finished valves, and even weld seams.
The results? A 100% compliance rate,
confirming that our valves are built to perform in high-pressure and corrosive
environments.
For us, PMI is more than a technical process—it’s a promise of safety and dependability. By integrating this testing into our workflow, we ensure consistent quality without disrupting production.
Collaborating with SGS has strengthened our confidence in meeting industry standards like ASME and API, providing our clients with products they can trust.
We understand that in valve manufacturing,
our clients rely on us for more than just components—they depend on our
dedication to excellence.
This PMI effort is one way we uphold that
trust. We’d love to hear your thoughts—how do you approach material integrity
in your operations?
Feel free to share your insights or connect
with us to discuss how we can support your needs with dependable valve
solutions.
