Using the data acquired through system transducers, the AVK consistently and accurately verifies valve set pressure. The portable device includes a small actuator assembly that is mounted to the valve. A custom-designed adapter with sensor applies force to the valve spindle to determine set pressure. The test results can then be printed or downloaded to other applications.

Valsource provides 24/7 repair and testing services in our shop or in the field. Our valve program allows our technicians to repair, remove, install and test your pressure relief and safety relief valves on-site. Using our AVK Electronic Test Vessel Package, our technicians are able to accurately test safety relief valves on-site without removing them from line. The primary function is to verify the set pressure in-line without having to shut down a system or unit. This service is a sure way to guarantee minimal downtime and peak valve performance. If you are preparing to service your boiler, Valsource technicians will come to your site and test each main steam safety valve to determine which valves require service. We will perform the repairs in-house or on-site using our 53’ field machining trailer, install and re-test back to calibrated set points.

If you need the best in valve repair and remanufacturing, Valsource can deliver the right options for your company. We offer rapid response times and emergency repair services available to resolve unplanned outages quickly. Our experienced technicians look forward to working with you to determine the most effective solutions for your valve repair needs.

ABBEY ROGERS offers a lift assist device that allows for the testing of safety relief valves while still in line, and operational. The AVK is an electro-hydraulic computerized testing unit that when connected to the valve records the pressure at which the valve lifts. The AVK connects to the stem of the safety valve and measures the vertical forces exerted by the spring and load train of the valve. These tests are preformed while your system is under pressure, therefore no loss of production due to removing safety relief valves. The documentation provided will satisfy ASME & Insurance inspectors.

Valve requirements for the AVK are the following: pressure under the valve, must be flanged, must be at least a 21" clearance above the valve, service must be non-liquid, and non-hazardous vapors. The AVK is ideal for testing valves in place which will determine which valves need to be pulled out of service for repair, and which can remain inline through another cycle. The AVK will reduce manpower and downtime expenses.

We also provide in place testing at your facility or factory to minimize down time. Mec-Tric’s in place testing equipment allows for diagnosis of valves operating correctly and repair of valves not meeting specifications. This helps eliminate customer down time and limits the amount of valves customers must maintain in stock.

The A.V.K. UltraStar LFM is an in-line pressure relief valve testing device (also commonly referred to as an A.L.D., auxiliary lift device). Its primary function is to verify the set pressure of pressure-relief valves in-line. With the in-line testing of valves, the costly and time-consuming job of valve removal and reinstallation is eliminated. Only those valves failing the test need to be scheduled for repair during system scheduled shutdown. Using the data acquired through system transducers, the UltraStar LFM provides a consistent and accurate valve set pressure.

The UltraStar LFM design includes a hydraulic actuator assembly that is mounted to the valve. A custom-designed robotic gripper-arm applies force to the valve spindle to determine set pressure.

In the event of an over-pressure condition, the UltraStar LFM does not hamper the normal operation of the valve regardless of the testing phase currently in progress. An additional feature provides for the controlled re-closing of the valve, preventing disk collapse and damage to the valve spindle.

One-Piece BallAVK’s unique one-piece Ductile Iron EPDM rubber encapsulated ball offers superior flow with head loss less than 2.5psi at 1000 gallons per minute.

Dual PurposeThe AVK FlowGuard dual purpose design offers protection in both directions. During normal operation the FlowGuard is designed to prevent backflow and cross-contamination.

AVK gate valves are designed with built-in safety in every detail. The wedge is fully vulcanized with AVK’s own EPDM rubber compound with NSF drinking water approval. It features an outstanding durability due to the ability of the rubber to regain its original shape, the double bonding vulcanization process and the sturdy wedge design. The triple stem seal system, the high strength stem and the thorough corrosion protection safeguard the unmatched reliability

The Power-to-X technologies are still quite new, and still there are no standards regarding this. Most manufacturers of valves will follow the ASME B31.12 standard for hydrogen in distribution networks, but there are no standards for tests of valves used for hydrogen.

Therefore, in collaboration with FORCE Technology, we have developed special tests to simulate the long-term effects of hydrogen. FORCE Technology has specialized knowledge within this field, and they have access to test facilities established in cooperation with Danish Gas Technology Centre, DGC. It takes a lot of safety precautions to perform tests with hydrogen, as it is a very combustible gas, and furthermore, the valves need to be tested under pressure.

We have developed two comprehensive tests. A functionality test that simulates the full lifetime and a burst test that exposes the valves for increased pressure until they burst.

Test results show that AVK valves can withstand the effects of hydrogen. Thus, they can therefore be used as components in the gas networks used for transport of hydrogen.

AVK is the first company in Denmark to test valves for hydrogen. By being first-mover and contributing to development of tests within this field, we will have a great advantage when it comes to servicing our customers and their needs in their transition to green energy and the fast-growing Power-to-X technologies.

AVK series 859 diaphragm actuated pressure sustaining control valves (PSV) automatically secure a minimum upstream pressure by reducing the flow if the upstream pressure drops below the setpoint.

Adjusting the setpoint above the usual operating pressure changes the function to pressure relief, where the valve automatically opens to dump excess upstream pressure if it exceeds the setpoint.
