Automation
Safety and accuracy are critical when it comes to valve operation.

We also provide valuable traceability through our unique serialization process and supply chain savings through valve automation product standardization.
ValidTorque™
Critical or safety-related service applications demand reliability. Our customized ValidTorque testing and certification process provides a precise baseline of performance for each unique valve and actuation package. This process verifies that your valve assembly was performed correctly before it ever leaves our Houston Valve & Engineering Center. ValidTorque reduces unnecessary maintenance, improves efficiency, and – most importantly – enhances the safety of your operations.
