Expert Repair & Failure Analysis

Related Model: Durco T4 — Lined Ball Valve. Sizes 1"-6", Classes 150. Application: Corrosive chemical service, PTFE lined.

What Usually Goes Wrong

Body Cracking (Thermal Fatigue): Valve body develops cracks from repeated thermal cycling (startup/shutdown). Most common in main steam gate valves and feedwater check valves. Can lead to catastrophic failure if undetected.

Repair: NDE inspection (UT, MT, PT) to map crack extent. Weld repair if cracks are shallow and in non-critical areas. Body replacement if cracks penetrate >50% wall thickness. Lead time: 4-12 weeks depending on severity.

Check Valve Slam: Swing or tilting disc check valve slams closed causing water hammer. Damages disc, hinge pin, and downstream piping. Caused by rapid flow reversal (pump trip).

Repair: Replace disc and hinge pin. Install dashpot or spring-assisted closure. For severe cases, replace with non-slam check valve (DFT or Flowserve dual-plate). Lead time: 2-6 weeks.

Repair Lead Time

Standard repair: 3-6 weeks — full inspection, machining, testing
