Step-by-Step Maintenance Workflow
Inspection
Conduct a visual inspection for leaks, corrosion, and physical damage on the valve body, stem, and flanges.
Lubrication
Lubricate stems, packing, and moving components with manufacturer-approved lubricants to reduce friction and wear.
Cleaning
Remove debris, scale, and dirt from internal and external surfaces to maintain smooth valve operation.
Tightening
Check all bolts, nuts, and packing, and tighten as required to maintain proper sealing and prevent leaks.
Functional Testing
Open and close the valve completely multiple times to verify proper operation, sealing, and smooth movement.
Troubleshooting
Identify issues such as sticking, leakage, noise, or improper sealing and apply corrective actions immediately.
