Critical Valve Spares

Production

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

Valves that directly relate to the efficiency and reliability of producing your product are also CRITICAL. It is understandable to think that all the valves in your system work alongside each other and are thus a part of the entire system, but the valves that are large, seeing high temperature and/or pressure or have custom components (special trim) will be valves that are not readily available off the shelf. You need to take an inventory of those valves and know where you can get one in a moment&#;s notice or have one on hand to avoid costly downtime at your facility. Consider what the valve costs compared to the potential lost revenue and production, as well as having to pay staff that does not have a production line to work on.

Lead Times

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from BSTV.

The valve industry has always had long lead times where standard non-stock lead times would be to receive a valve within 10-12 weeks. Today, you would be VERY lucky to get that type of turnaround on a non-stock valve. With the world still recovering from pent up demand after the lockdowns of many valve manufacturers are promising lead times as long as 26 to 52 weeks for their non-stock valves. This can include large quarter turn valves, control valves, safety relief valves and high pressure forged and cast steel valves. What to consider is how CRITICAL is that valve to your operation? Could you operate the plant without that line? What will it take to get that line back up and running? Could you do a quick repair on that valve while you wait for the new valve to come in or is in irreparable? When speaking with your finance department they need to weigh the risk vs. the initial lower investment of the valve sitting on the shelf since their decision could cause weeks of lost or inefficient plant operation.
