Field Machining
Restore sealing surfaces without removing the equipment from the line.
Field Machining
Portable machine tools are mounted directly to the equipment and indicated off an existing datum, so gasket faces, seats and bores are cut concentric and flat in place. Cut depth, flatness and finish are recorded against the applicable flange or seat specification.
What we do
- Flange facing and gasket-surface refinishing, including gasket-surface repair on a new 8 in. Class 600 cryogenic PSV
- Valve seat and sandwich-valve machining in place
- Mounting-surface resurfacing in place, including API 610 VS1 vertical turbine pump / sump can top mounting surfaces
- Line boring, milling and drilling with portable machine tools
Applications
- Leaking flanged joints with distorted or corroded gasket faces
- Valves that will not seat after service exposure
- Vessel, drum and sump-can sealing faces that cannot be shipped out
- Mounting surfaces requiring flatness correction before reassembly
