Copeland's carbide, ceramic, Hatelloy® and Inconel® coatings are useful in preventing wear and erosion. Copeland specializes in repairing, modifying or re-engineering all types of valves so that they may operate longer and more reliably in the presence of particulates, corrosives or high pressure steam. Types of Process Equipment Modified With Hard Coatings Gates Globes Ball Valves Control Valves Plug Valves Knife Gates Brand Names of Valves Modified or Repaired by Copeland Repairs may include modification to metal seats, coating of internal components, or simply repair services. Mogas Industries, Inc. Valvtechnologies Nordstrom Valves, Inc. Fisher Flowserve SST Velan Valves, particularly severe service valves, need to operate reliably, continuously and with little maintenance. Once installed, a sheared stem, leaking body gasket or worn sealing area is costly and time consuming to repair. Our goal is to produce products that are reliable and durable. McCanna Seats after coating and lapping to provide a chrome carbide sealing area so that the original valves will provide longer life in a process that has erosive particulates in the process stream. Fisher control valves sometimes require modifications to include carbide or ceramic coatings on the sealing surfaces or even the entire wetted area. Copeland can provide these services with a two week delivery or less. This repair was for a power plant in Florida. The original valves had Stellite™ welded to the body's bore to prevent erosion. Copeland applied CFS131 over the base metal to provide a harder, more wear resistant surface.

Retrofits

The purpose of
retrofitting an existing
valve is to a) improve
design deficiencies in the
original model, b) convert
a valve designed for less
stringent service
conditions or c) simply to
repair a valve for a lesser
price, better quality or
faster delivery than that
offered by the original
equipment manufacturer.

Copeland stands alone in
its ability to repair, modify
and replace severe
service valves. For many
years, a majority of the
original equipment
manufacturers who
manufacture similar
products have sought
Copeland's assistance in
solving some of their
most difficult valve design
issues.
