Quality controls are integral to the John-Valve production process and checks are carried out throughout manufacturing process
Quality controls are integral to the John-Valve production process and checks are carried out throughout manufacturing process. Each casting procedure is inspected and strictly follows PED and International standards. In addition, each casting is required to undergo a series of tests ( destructive or non-destructive, such as PMI, VT, PT, RT, etc.) to ensure our high quality.

Universal Testing Machine
Analysis of the molten alloy's chemical composition using a Spark Spectrometer. After casting and the subsequent Heat Treatment, further testing is conducted using Metallurgical Micro-Structural Analysis. Every casting piece is checked with heat number control and traceability. Additional tests of the Tensile and Charpy impact test, Strength, and the material's hardness by using a Universal Test Machine. For Cryogenic service, we can perform the Charpy test at -196 Celsius degrees. Smoothness test on our machining surface. The additional X-Ray and Dye-penetration tests are available upon the customer's request. Constant visual inspection by the trained inspector helps to maintain very high-quality standards. Torque control on all valves. We also use the 3D Coordinate Measure Machines to control the accuracy of our product's dimensions.
According to EN 12266-1 & API 598 request, 100% of the Air & Hydrostatic pressure testing is conducted before shipment. We issue the correspondent material certificate and test reports for each of our valves.
