Pipeline Safety: Requirement of Valve Installation and ...

This site displays a prototype of a “Web 2.0” version of the daily Federal Register. It is not an official legal edition of the Federal Register, and does not replace the official print version or the official electronic version on GPO’s govinfo.gov.

The documents posted on this site are XML renditions of published Federal Register documents. Each document posted on the site includes a link to the corresponding official PDF file on govinfo.gov. This prototype edition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov will remain an unofficial informational resource until the Administrative Committee of the Federal Register (ACFR) issues a regulation granting it official legal status. For complete information about, and access to, our official publications and services, go to About the Federal Register on NARA's archives.gov.

The OFR/GPO partnership is committed to presenting accurate and reliable regulatory information on FederalRegister.gov with the objective of establishing the XML-based Federal Register as an ACFR-sanctioned publication in the future. While every effort has been made to ensure that the material on FederalRegister.gov is accurately displayed, consistent with the official SGML-based PDF version on govinfo.gov, those relying on it for legal research should verify their results against an official edition of the Federal Register. Until the ACFR grants it official status, the XML rendition of the daily Federal Register on FederalRegister.gov does not provide legal notice to the public or judicial notice to the courts.

If you’re a project manager or site foreman – here’s an important question you should find out if you don’t already know.  What generation of abrasive metering valve do you have on your blast pots?

It may surprise you that your metering valve is one of the most significant indicators of your efficiency and profit.   This is one of the most important (yet neglected) considerations on the majority of jobsites we visit.  It’s so important in fact – that if you’re a project manager looking to turn ONE DIAL to improve your team’s performance – we suggest investigating your abrasive metering valve.  It’s to your financial advantage to understand the metering valve you’re using and why it’s most likely costing you hundreds of dollars a day in inefficiencies.

First… here’s a general layout of the abrasive metering valves currently in use. These are listed from least efficient to most efficient across the broad range of blasting applications.

So, what makes one metering valve any better than another?  ONE metric.   Which valve saves you the most money? And this metric should be evaluated on the following 4 criteria:

1. Wasted Abrasive
2. Clean-up Costs
3. Productivity/Downtime
4. Needed Repairs/Replacement Parts

We’ve explained these costs in a previous Primed Insight if you’d like to learn more.  But suffice it to say, thousands of dollars can be lost each day simply by saving $200 on the purchase of a cheap metering valve. This is something every project manager should pay attention to.

A popular misunderstanding is all these valves represent different methods of metering. That is not correct. Each column is actually a generational improvement on the previous valves.

The company is the world’s best buy surface safety valve supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

Think of the above valves through this perspective:

Engineering and materials have improved with each product upgrade.

• The metering has gotten more precise – conserving abrasive
• Breakdowns and repairs have drastically reduced with each generation

Now, as we’re presented things, it may seem that the silver bullet to everyone’s problems is simply to buy this most current valve – The Axxiom Schmidt TeraValve.

And it probably is our top recommendation.  It not only improves efficiency across the broadest range of industrial applications, but surprisingly, it also costs less than its predecessor – The Thompson 2 Valve.

However, for high flow jobs that use multiple #10 nozzles or in blast room situations using a robot, the Thompson 2 is actually our top recommendation.

Now in case you think we’re just trying to sell you a more expensive valve – here’s an insight within an insight…

Because we’re a business like you, profit and loss is something we must also manage.  That’s why we have installed over 200 Tera Valves on our vast rental fleet. You can imagine that renting blast pots comes with quite a bit of maintenance and repair when they’re returned. We discovered that simply by installing Tera Valves on our rental pots, those maintenance costs dropped 75%.

THAT’S why we recommend TeraValves.  They’re a superior product.

And in case you’re interested – this link leads to a Tera Valve retrofit kit so you can upgrade your current pot to the latest and greatest generation of metering valves.

If you have questions as to which valve is best for your pot and applications – just reach out and ask. That’s our job!
