AIP Valve

Manufacturing Process

A meticulous, quality-driven approach ensures industrial valves meet international standards for performance, durability, and reliability. Here’s a detailed overview of the manufacturing stages:

Raw Meterial

    • High-quality materials such as Cast Iron (ASTM A126), Ductile Iron (ASTM A536), Cast Steel (ASTM A216), and Stainless Steel (ASTM A351) are selected based on the type and application.

    • Valve seats use premium elastomers like Nitrile, EPDM, Viton, Hypalon, Silicon, or Neoprene, ensuring tight sealing and corrosion resistance.

Casting & Forging

    • The valve body and components are manufactured using either casting or forging, depending on the material and design specifications.

    • Precision molding techniques ensure dimensional accuracy and structural integrity.

Machining & Processing:

    • CNC machines and lathes are used to achieve precision in components.
    • Key processes include drilling, boring, threading, and shaping of internal passages to meet international standards.

Assembly & Lining

    • Integral rubber or PTFE linings are molded into the body for tight sealing and bi-directional flow.

    • Seats, discs, shafts, and other moving parts are assembled with attention to fit and function.

Coating & Surface Treatment

    • Anti-corrosion coatings such as Teflon, powder coating, and nylon coating are applied.

    • Stainless steel or epoxy-coated options are available for enhanced durability and resistance to harsh environments.

Quality Inspection & Testing

    • Hydrostatic and pneumatic pressure tests (as per API 598 / BS EN 12266-1) ensure that products meet pressure and leakage standards.

    • Dimensional accuracy checks conform to ISO 5752, API 609, and IS 13095.

    • Seat tightness and vacuum sealing are tested to PN 10 / PN 16 standards.

Packing & Dispatch

    • Each unit undergoes a final cleaning, lubrication (if required), and protective packaging.

    • Proper documentation, labeling, and certification accompany the shipment for quality assurance and traceability.
