VR Certified Safety Valve Repair

North American Machine Works is a VR certified safety valve repair center. In addition to Farris, we are certified to repair all makes and models or safety valves whether they are Sec. I or Sec. VIII certified. Our testing facilities include a steam test stand for pressures up to 1400 psig, two air test stands rated up to 3500 psig and liquid testing capabilities of up to 10,000 psig. All of our test stands are equipped with highly accurate pressure transducers which graphically capture each test.

Our valve shop operations are managed by an innovative web based system, Swan Asset Manager. Asset Manager offers our customers a window into our operations. Real time status of each valve repair is available to its owner. Customers no longer have to make a phone call for an update. Now all they have to do is logon into Asset Manager through the web and every aspect of their job is available on line whether it is a current repair status, repair history, or the most recent test certification.
